Battery powered vehicles are a stupid idea in my honest opinion,

The environmental cost of producing lithium batteries and transparent them around the world is absolutely huge and then the electrical power has to be generated using fossil fuels any way.

However the driver/riders then choose to completely ignore the above facts and drive around thinking they are saving the planet sitting on their moral high horse.

Lets be honest no one give a **** about global warming thats why people still use oil at such an high rate. We need to face the facts oil will run out in the near future no matter how many daft eco ideas people dream up, if everyone today drove around in a prius oil would still run out, it will just stretch our reserves for a few more years.

The only reason an electric/hybrid vehicle makes sense at the moment is to avoid congestion charge, lets not forget though if every single person in london was in hybrid/electric vehicles, how much money would the government loose from congestion charge............. they wouldn't be exempt for long.

The government needs tax, they make 10s of billions a year from fuel duty do you really think they charge tax on fuel to discourage people to use it... do they bollox they charge tax on it because they want money, so if everyone moves to electric cars, electricity will become taxed like oil.
