Electric cars are a dumb idea, I just don't see them as being useful for anything more than popping to the shops. It's not just the range but the charge time. Fuel cells, Hydrogen - maybe. Rechargeable batteries? No way.

This depends entirerly on your intended usage of the car.

Take 'er indoors,for example.
She works as a mobile care worker,all her custumers are within the city and avarage daily mileage is 38 miles.Car would be sat overnight,so could re-charge on Economy 7.
Just the job for her,anyone care to lend me one for a long term trial?

They are ideal for stop-start delivery type work, which is why electric milk floats were used for donkeys years.
