Are you preparing to buy an electric car yet?
With the proposed phasing out of fossil fuel powered transport, how much thought have you put into what you will be driving in the run up to the phasing out?

Not if I do not have to.
They have been talking about this since at least the early 90's but electric cars have their own sets of problems.
Like when the batteries finally die, replacing them costs about the same as a brand new car.
That is the nature of electronics throughout history - cheaper to replace than fix.
Plus those things are not any better for the environment than gas cars. Maybe less pollution during operation but production and mining the materials for the batteries - yeah look that up.

@Punches I know. That's why I bought a 10-year-old hybrid, instead of getting something newer.
