The electric car at the moment is a novelty charging stations are appearing here and there but to have a nationwide charging network would seem to be almost impossible as every on street parking space would need a charging point, to say nothing about yobs unplugging them on the way home from the pub, the only way to make EVs viable is to have replaceable battery packs, drive in replace battery and off you go.
It would seem that the motor manufacturers don't worry to much about carbon footprints as each new model seems to be getting bigger, it would make more sense for them to be fitting smaller engines, in the UK we can only travel at 70 MPH maximum and most A roads these days have 30 40 and 50MPH limits all over the place and the extra traffic on them maybe the Austin 7 will become a viable form of everyday transport in the not to distant future.
