I guess one is that people will be far more disposed to buying an electric car than they were before it. One current issue with electric cars is range anxiety with the car running out before it can be recharged. Petrol and diesel car drivers are now experiencing this constraint too.
Nah, electric cars are probably fine if you're lucky enough to have a driveway or dedicated on street parking . . . with a handy charger within 2 meters.

As for many of us, it's normally 'in, fueled, paid and out' in 5 minutes at a petrol station . . sometimes with extra purchase of a Cadburys cream egg as a treat
