As the range of the vehicle improves the necessity to charge every day reduces. Range has increased considerably in the last few years, what will it be in another 10?

You don't refill your petrol tank after every journey, so why would you top up your electric car if it has another 400 miles to empty?

The worst case is that in 2030, I can't buy a new petrol car, but I can keep the one I have going. Surely that is an incentive for car manufacturers to produce something that is suitable for everyday use.


One idea to combat the charging/range issue is to have a common interchangeable battery pack. So at service station, swap battery pack, go on merry way.

There is a solution it just needs thinking about and setting a deadline gives the discussion and problem solving some momentum.
