Howard, it seems we think along similar lines in terms of threats to the planet that science predicts, though 5 meters rise in sea level seems to be pushing the point a tad.. It seems we may take personal transportation in any car of our choosing for granted, and I suspect if the govt has any real desire relative to climate change prioritisation, then the impending budget may reflect that to some degree.. Which has the potential to be interesting to observe..? To date it seems we have seen statements of intent, which can be a whole lot different from alterations in legislation from politicians whose main aim is to stay in power..?
You might like to beam this link up if you might be interested in real world range testing across some models of EVs though it is mostly motorway driving, which I suppose is the norm for most folk taking on longer than basic runs to the shops, schools, etc, in terms of everyday use..?
