    Just watch what happens with electric cars they are already tying you into a lease with batteries. they predict that every tri-annual service will require a complete battery replacement costing in the region of £1500 to £2000. Add that to the cars depreciation value of £1200 per year. That's 5 grand, currently what i spend every 10 years on a second hand car. i would have to save up for 40 years to afford a cheap electric car and after 3 years wouldn't be able to afford it.
    i'm sure the production of sulphuric acid for the batteries and plastics to manufacture the batteries will be good for the atmosphere not to mention the waste they will produce is good for the planet
    if i buy a second hand electric gar will i get new batteries included or will i end up with a huge bill to get it on the road.
    which prat thought that was a good idea.
    why not retrofit old cars with electric engines and associated systems
    whats happens in major accidents when the whole of the belly pan of your car is one massive sulphuric acid bath ? (where they are locating the battery packs on some cars)
