In these days of 'convenience is king', I don't think a lot of people are going to be very happy faffing around in the dark, wind, raid, snow for example, plugging their cars in every day or two just to keep them reasonably usable. For those families which need more than one car, these problems will only be compounded. Yes of course there'll be those who have plenty of suitable off road parking who'll be able to pay for the best/quickest charging technology or even be lucky enough to charge their vehicles while they're parked in the office car park. What about those who don't have those options though? Are they going to find themselves effectively priced out of cars?  |
I think the future is driverless cars, no ownership. You'll have an app on your phone to book a car for your journey. If you are taking a long journey outside the range of the car then one will be available at a certain point in the journey, change cars and your first car will proceed to a recharging point.
