Will you get an Electric car?

I often forget to recharge my phone!

No. I routinely travel distances that far exceed the range of any available electric car. I also live in a climate that turns cold in the winter, inclement weather is a further limitation on electric vehicles range. There are no electric vehicles that would serve my needs and frankly the infrastructure to support those that are out there is lacking in all but urban areas.

I had an Electric Push-Bike it was rubbish, traction was mainly by my pedal power the only use it had was when I filled the panniers and front basket up with groceries I had a hill to negotiate it wouldn't take long before the battery was flat I can't honestly recommend electric.

They will never be popular in Northern Canada until after climate change

No.

Certainly not a battery-only one.

I could never afford it.

They are far, far too expensive new, and despite reputedly low servicing costs replacing the battery every few years will probably be far too pricy as well. Prices are not likely to fall significantly - they will still be for the well-off.

Second-hand battery-electrics might become quite cheap but because their first or near-future need would be a new battery-pack, costing many thousands of £££.

I would be totally reliant on finding public charging points where with luck I might have less than two hours' wait before I can drive away again. I am one of the very many Britons whose home has no have any parking area of its own, making charging at home out of the question..

... and with luck finding a charging-point with connectors compatible with my car and with a card-reader for payment (as on many petrol-pumps).

I do not believe their ranges match the publicity claims. There is a standard range-rating test but it does not account for real-life driving, especially when you might need make a long journey in cold weather.

No good, by range, for some of the journeys I make; and in Winter a fraught expedition in a travelling ice-box.

They are OK for short local trips, but I have no faith in them otherwise.

Electrity for BEVs in the UK is, [i]I think,[/i] presently free or if from your domestic 13A supply, costs only your normal rate. This is to encourage motorists to switch to BEVs, but as and when the liquid-fuel demand drops significantly, the lost tax revenue on its sales will probably have to be applied to the electricity. Already, I am told by a friend who owns a BEV, if you have a high-rate (7kW) charger at home it has to be installed professionally, via a so-called "smart"-meter of its own. I don't know the costs but I would expect a few hundred ££. A "smart"-meter would allow ready collection of any such "fuel" tax, via the electricity supplier.

Ironically we are going back 100 years. In the early years of the 20C motoring was only for the rich, but they could buy battery-electric cars, at least in the main British, French and American cities. At the same time, commercial operators could buy battery-electric lorries for local deliveries.

'

I don't know the truth of this but a friend who'd been reading car reviews said one leading BEV maker places a deliberately untenable guarantee on its batteries. Lasting for only three years, he told me, the car's electronics logs the charging history, and any discharge <30% capacity or re-charge to >80%, annuls the guarantee immediately.

Nope, replacing the batteries will be very expensive

No. They’re not efficient. They are not green.

I would if I were still driving. I think they're great. The new Tesla Model S has over a 400-mile range.

In a pretty short of time, most everyone will. I would in a heartbeat but it all comes down to the ability to charge and access to what I need/want which is a 4x4. It's changing SO fast though. Every car manufacturer is heading that way which means the prices are going to fall and the charging stations will become ubiquitous. We could have been at this place 40 years ago. But there's momentum now that won't go away.

Only when that is the only option

No chance

Nope.

If I had the solar panels to charge it but I'm guessing that to get from Minneapolis to northern Minnesota will be a stretch for the existing batteries.

An electric powered vehicle is not high on my priority list but perhaps someday I will.

Surely they would make battery connectors a standard type on all electric cars the cost of fitting chargers at home would come down or have to come down there would need to be a standard throughout for people to convert to electric cars

Am glad to hear it great but sorry to hear its slow to charge n you can't get a fast charger installed cos of lockdown there. Let's hope that it ends soon there for you.

No, I'm happy with my hybrid.

Yes. I've rode in a Tesla and as soon as I'm done paying off the car I have I will be buying one. Absolutely amazing.

Maybe. But I want a specific car (not electric) when I graduate from university in 100 years.

At some point prolly.
We're considering it

Already have one.

Don’t think so.. but maybe

Absolutely.

Maybe someday

If i have one

No.

Ssdd.
