Excuse my naivity here, I'm not well read on future energy supplies.
I've driven an electric car for nearly 2 years now (free chargers at work & much lower company car tax swayed me!). The view i've shifted towards my
time of running an electric car is that running an energy infrastructure on solely/mainly electricity is not viable.
During October to March/April in UK, the range I get from my car is 100-120 miles from a 45kw battery. In the warmer months I achieve more like 180
miles from a charge. Weather plays to much of an effect on battery life, which I imagine is how a great deal of future energy will be provided.
Although I'm sure efforts are being made at source to prevent weather related energy loss, I imagine a massive community wide resolution will be
required for electric cars to fully take over.
My view is a supplemental energy source is required, one which I don't believe is affected by a bit of morning frost. The answer is Hydrogen to
supplement electricity, one source alone is not sufficient for future requirements.
