Pro's and con's for buying an electric vehicle

Here's the BBC article about 2030 plans. There are other links on there for further information.

Cambridge are also wanting to do the same,but as has been said the infrastructure to enable all EV is not available and would need huge investment to do so,whereas Hibrids will not need ,as it would only be city centres that req batt power and buses can only do about 90mile max on Batt only so it would be similar for commercial vehicles,with all the stop start needed,and tail lifts

I'm surprised at that in view of Cambridge's research and development status, I thought they'd be at the forefront. I wonder how many chargers are on the science parks already?

What happens when/if there is a ban on anything other than electric vehicles in a particular area in a town, and a hybrid, or one with a range extender, enters the area on battery power but it runs out and the internal combustion engine starts up? 

Surely that just puts us back where we are now.

I think hybrids have been given the ok at present, the range extender emits about 12 parts per million, not something that's used frequently, we mostly run on electric. On the motorway the rex keeps the battery levels up but a certain amount of frugality is needed otherwise the fuel could run out. It's a back up rather than something that gets used a lot. The emission levels are extremely low.

I think although Cambridge are at the forefront in most thing scientific, they are also living in the real world,

On the few occasions I visit a city, it’s park and ride for me🚌

I think that's the general idea Oneputt, I'd probably do the same. I suppose in the end inner cities will also have electric taxis, a bit like the fleet mentioned in Cornwall by Metheven.

The reason is to achieve government targets, EasyT.

Has a Government ever hit any targets?
