e fuel combustion engines will still be allowed. e fuels are made by sucking in carbon , then using renewable energy to convert water to hydrogen then to refine to e fuel . they could use rolls Royce small nuclear reactors at refinery sites to produce e fuels. i see future as either being hydrogen or e fuel. electric cars are beta max . just not workable. my wife' s brothers friend works for a certain car company at a very high level and part of his job was to promote the Zoe as the future of transport. after several years of driving his electric car he had had enough so decided to by an audi diesel in Aberdeen. he set off in winter , so the cold affected his range and his range dropped off a cliff when the heater etc came on. trying to find a charger that worked, did not have a queue in front of it became a problem as well as finding a charger that was a rapid charger . from his home in the midlands to get to Aberdeen took 2 and a half days. it was 10 hours back home using diesel. my brother went from the north west to Norfolk in a Hyundai electric car . it was -2 and range was crippled by the cold . charged up it was 220 miles range, but with heaters on etc and cold ranged dropped to 120 miles . it was the journey from hell . at one point ended up in a rural garage in norfolk . asked the owner if they had a charger and was informed that the had electricity and allowed him to plug into the mains. 6 hours later walking around the central chocolate isle buying food , magazines feeling embarrassed they arrived at their destination. car crash = electric lithium battery fire, scary , car shunt, insurance companies are reluctant to repair , because if you crack or damage the battery pack then it becomes very expensive. e fuels or hydrogen are the way forward and at the end of the day the car industry and refiners will decide what route we go down not governments.
