So, even the Alarmists in Britain aren’t too enthused about vehicles which cost $30k+ and go 40-70 miles per charge (with heat/AC off) (via Climate Depot)
(UK Dailymail) Sales of electric cars have slumped so badly that there are now more charging points than vehicles on the road.
Just 2,149 electric cars have been sold since 2006, despite a government scheme last year offering customers up to £5,000 towards the cost of a vehicle.
The Department for Transport says that around 2,500 charging points have been installed, although their precise location is not known.
Call me silly, but, wouldn’t it be rather important to know where the stations are? With an electric vehicle, a person’s trip has to be planned in the same manner as a military special forces operation. Of course, with a military op, one can overcome and adapt. If you miss your charging station in an EV, well, I guess overcoming and adapting means calling AAA and getting towed. Or getting some unplanned exercise as one walks.
