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 yet I own a fairly new petrol car I live in the UK the UK will stop selling new Petrol and Diesel cars in 2030 so there's still a few years left.

Personally I think hydrogen cars will beat electric cars I would hope there's a few hydrogen cars available when the time comes.

@senghenydd Hydrogen technology is far too nascent at the moment. Also, the vast majority of hydrogen produced commercially is still produced from fossil fuel sources (blue hydrogen).

@senghenydd i heard a problem with the green hydrogen cars is that they only run for a short while

@Penny I heard the Japanese were investing heavily in hydrogen watched reports on one of the news channels. Hydrogen cars can be refuelled quickly electric cars take too long to charge we'll have to wait and see I hope hydrogen wins a place in tomorrows motoring.

👏👏 HYDROGEN IS THE FUTURE 👏👏
#JCB is set to showcase its hydrogen combustion technology, electric drivetrain and efficient diesel engines at CONEXPO-CON/AGG in Las Vegas. This will be the international debut of the hydrogen combustion engine in North America.
JCB Chairman Lord Bamford is leading the project to develop JCB’s hydrogen technology. He said: “The JCB engineering team has made enormous strides in a short space of time to develop a hydrogen internal combustion engine and it already powers a JCB prototype backhoe loader and a Loadall telescopic handler. As the first construction equipment company to develop a fully working combustion engine fuelled by hydrogen, I’m delighted we are now able to present this technology on the international stage.”
