Thread: JLR Survey 50% of Australian Millennials want Electric over ICE

Geez, I can't wait to here the deep, throaty rumble of an electric touring car at Bathurst or the throaty howl of a battery powered Ducati at Phillip Island

Might be a market for virtual reality headphones at events?

Don't you like high-pitched whining?

Sorry, Mick, no reply on the grounds I might incinerate myself

I miss the sound of Steam Engines too, but there will be no one happier than the Albert Park residents .

F1 cars already do high-pitched whining so that won't change.

Bollinger production 2019 , can't wait till theres one in my driveway !

Sodium still wont have the energy density required to replace petrol/diesel and will just give those who use there cars as commuters less worry's on range.
And would there be enough materials in the world to convert the world over (this is not possible with Lithium)

Roof top solar unless you are charging during the day or pumping it into battery's then using them to charge your car your not really reducing the carbon emission's of the electricity, yes you are putting electricity into the grid then claiming it back later on but the grid is not a battery (yet) its just rob Peter to pay Paul, Same as buying carbon credits from some 3rd world country cause they are allowed this much carbon but only use this much.
Once Australia is not using as much fossil fuel for electricity then they will become less carbon intensive.
so hence why i say your just removing emissions from city and putting where the power plant is in the majority of case's.
and Yes overseas ev's are better due to there electricity supply.

The other part with the roof top is how many systems are actually large enough to offset the cars use and how many people would upgrade there system for it when they charge at night on night rates when its cheap well so long as the cheap rates times are long enough to charge the car back up with a 15 amp power point.

Fuel cell's will still be coming as i cant see trucks giving up the amount of payload the battery's would take away they will just be more a replacement for diesel vehicles then petrol as petrol can be replaced atm for a vast majority if we had the resource's available

A bit like every time I hear the ring of an old Bakelite phone I look around and spot some crusty ancient patting his pockets to find his mobile.
