I'm not concerned, I ignore the people that rant and rave everything will be electric soon ( gee's the media sucks arse the way it pushes this agenda). The reality is in australia will probably end up with a decent percentage of electric cars within the next couple of decades). I wonder if they will ever reach 50% of cars on the roads? ( I doubt it, not unless a new battery technology arrives).Quote:

So if you have big cities with huge populations ... what isn't to like? They would have the infrastructure to charge them (then again public transport would also be great under similar conditions).
In a big country like australia they make no sense at all, unless maybe you lived in the middle of a capital city. They are also target at the wrong market, a lot of the cars available are basically supercars. Not the average car an average person could afford.
