We drove up from Cornwall yesterday and the wife needed a comfort brake so we pulled into the services, there was a row of cars on charge points ( 4 Teslas and 4 others and 3 cars waiting for them to finish). Even if we had needed fuel we would have been back on the motorway in a lot less time that the owners of these very expensive Milk floats.
I can see there being a 2 or maybe more options on new cars in 15 years time, Electric, Hydrogen are the obvious options but maybe synthetic fuel will be an option?
Vehicles with a prolonged charge time and a short battery life will never be a sensible choice if you ever go on longer journeys. Having to stop every 4 hours for an hour or so is never going to work and then dispose of the car after 7 or 8 years because the battery is fooked.
