Saw one on the road the other day: looks like a home-made soap-box racer with scraps of metal duct-work tacked to it... No door handles, no keyholes...

HELL NO

@thisguy20 Unfortunately such complexities as remotely controlled doors are becoming typical on electric cars being developed now.

As are, as Elwood Blues has already pointed out, over-reliance on controls operated by fiddling with a computer-screen - not only that but often placed to the side of your vision.

Yes, battery-electric cars and vans are all well and good, though I think their rationale a bit misguided, and are becoming much better in some ways than they were, but are also becoming far too complicated for their purpose: moving a few people or small volumes of goods from A to B.

I wonder if there will be a reaction and the makers will introduce much simpler types that are not reliant on "apps" and suchlike nonsense.

@ArishMell I agree.

Ignoring all of that, I won't buy an electric car for the simple reason that public charging stations don't accept cash.
