What next... electric cars capable of towing

Presently I read concerns about the generating power available in UK to cover winter needs. If this is the case and given the time scale to bring new power stations on line I cannot see the proposed date being brought forwards at all.

When we do eventually all have electric cars/MH's will that mean Merve will want an EHU site to make sure he can get home?

By that time Mick, I'll be making the grass grow.😂😂😂😂😂. I look at electric cars and think they'll never be able to tow anything any distance. I noticed Tesla charge points being installed on a motorway services on the M6 the other day. They are serious about it then? 

Safefill is the way forward, Merve, not charging up with electricity.

If you want the facts rather than the bullsh*t in the papers I suggest you have a look at what National Grid have said here. No need for new power stations.

My interest is limited as I do not expect to be around in 2040. I am not convinced that the infrastructure will be either. In order to be meaningful for the brave new world the necessary infrastructure needs to be in place by 2030 in my opinion in order to encourage take up of E vehicles. Maybe it will? 

If I am around I shall be 88 and unlikely to be driving.

Are you currently able to tow 1,000 miles without refuelling ?

Currently refuelling takes a few minutes. Will electric match that? No idea. Hopefully Europe is singing from the same hymn sheet.

If you're not convinced and think this is all a long way off look up some of the developments that have been going on for quite a while....this is about range extenders.

A pity this months Club mag has a dinosaur type letter about "the future of towing." The Club could at least attempt to join the 21st century.
