Don't go with any newer launched models because they are not tried and tested in general by the public.

Remember the first I3 BMW model had lots of shortcomings.

Have to wait till they start getting regular updates.

Electric cars are like Android softwares, when they are launched they have so many bugs

Nor will hydrogen.

Electric cars won't work currently as range anxiety is still a major concern, plus the recharging network simply isn't in place, and won't be for the next 10-15-20 years, if ever. People who live in terrace houses/don't have a drive. How do they charge a vehicle overnight? Extension cables from the house across a public footpath? From lampposts? No current solution exists.

Hydrogen vehicles don't work for 2 very important reasons. Currently, you can't store hydrogen for very long. The molecules are too small, they simply "leak" out of any container.

Secondly, although hydrogen is the most abundant element, it's always "stuck" to other elements. The energy require to "unstick" them is greater than the hydrogen yielded from the process.

Lol true

VW are launching Buzz models based on their E Golf series currently priced around 30 grand.

You may well buy a 3 year old Tesla around that price which are proven for their quality.

It’s not even that with electric, the power consumption it would take if 40 percent of the vehicles on the road were electric it would melt power lines, power supply cannot cope with everything.

As long as your diesel car is post 2005 it should be compliant with the latest emissions rules.

if its older than that good luck stumping up the new charge if you are heading into Birmingham once the new scheme comes into place.

Sure the others will follow suit, just another tax on the motorist.

Makes me laugh how they create the problem (promoting "Buy Diesel" cars in the 2000's) now all of a sudden they are "bad" = lets generate some revenue.

Look up Euro 6 vehicles if you aren't sure if yours is compliant also have your vehicle serviced at the set intervals.

If you don't live in 'eastern' europe and can have a tesla charger insalled at home, then Tesla becomes a very viable car.

I haven't heard mention of a budget yet so put your 75 grand down for a Lexus LC500, beautiful to look at, really nice to drive and a hybrid. If I had the money to spare and wasn't tempted by a used super car for the same money I'd have one in a heartbeat

Are you doing lots of short journeys with some. Long ones or daily drives of at least 30 to 40 plus minutes?

Electric is here to stay. Renault, for example, are producing an electric version of the rest of their range by 2022.

It’s all about battery technology, which is improving all the time and will sort the question of range as well as charging. New EVs can charge to 80% in half an hour already. Plus the regenerative charging from the car’s own kinetic energy is also improving all the time.

The issue around charging points will gradually become less important as driverless cars come into play. People won’t own as many cars if they can call one up per journey, especially in cities.

Electric is here to stay, but but no single issue will cause it to be universal, or solve the barriers in one hit. It will be a conglomeration of factors.

Faster charging, longer range, better tech, driverless cars and more home charging, plus no doubt other factors yet to come, will all get us there over the next couple of decades.
