The longest part of that wait will be for the price point to drop to £20k for a small "family" capable car.Andy Beats wrote: ↑Tue Mar 12, 2019 9:06 amProbably not far away.mike sel wrote: ↑Mon Mar 11, 2019 7:49 pm no not for the 300mile regular trip I do twice a month I can rely on Electric yet unfortunately. I need a fundamental battery breakthrough before im in. Min 300 mile real world winter capacity and recharge in a couple of hours. + I want to run aircon, lights and wipers on heater on. radio on sat nav on. I can currently do this in my polo. when they give me a 4 seat electric car that can do that for £20k I be all over it.
Plan for this to be your last ICE car, everyone should.
I still think that it'll be 10 years for the infrastructure to be in place to cope with even 1/3 of the cars on the road to be electric here in the UK - most ICE cars are going to be still running a minimum of 10 years after purchase unless a major accident has written them off. Just today I parked up next to a colleague's 02 reg MK4 Golf TDI - 17 years old, 187k miles on the clock and all's well except for some cosmetic rust around the front wing wheel arches. I don't think electric cars will outnumber ICE cars in this country before 2035.
Without the external charging infrastructure for mass ownership, people without a driveway or garage to charge at home are still going to be stuffed.
