I know current electric cars ( ) in effect do not work. Their range, speed and maximum rate of re-charge makes them impractical.

That is not my point. My concern is very simple – oil will run out within the next 3 decades. You’ll only find petrol and diesel in museums. How will we respond to that? There are only a few possibilities – hydrogen, fuel cells, electric batteries, horses or not leaving the house. All of these need a great deal of investment in research and development if they are to be practicable (apart from horses which seem pretty set in their ways).

So I’m not really a fan of electric cars – I’m pointing out that petrol/diesel will soon not be one of the choices.

Hello again,

Come to think of it, your name and domain name imply that you’re caught in the middle. Here’s my take on why “caught in the middle” is a dangerous idea.

Thanks for leaving me a comment on my blog.

Well, you got a point there, but from the way I see things, your “7 well-publicised downsides” can all be covered by Shai Agassi’s vision of mass-produced electric cars from Better Place.

You can see if Shai’s proposition is feasible or not by watching his speech before the TED audience.

Once again, thank you.

Cheers,

First of all: thanks for Your comment on our blog. Also if I don’t agree with each of Your 7 well-publicised downsides I understand very well You’d like to see more public transport infrastructures instead of Government incentives to buy an electric car. In Milan the situation of public transport is chaotic: underground stations finished but not working, local buses departing from nowhere-no-one-knows et cetera… But the problem the technology of electric car is so behind is due, as You wisely joke, to the gasoline itself! At the beginning of the car era, in 1899, the electric car was the first to break the wall of 100 km/h. If our world didn’t loose 70 years of evolutions of electric cars because of the internal combustion engine, maybe today the electric cars could have the features You like…
