Electric vehicles

[Mr Pharmacist]

I have a hybrid company car. Its a plug in variety and when fully charged it can get a whopping 15 miles out of the battery. so it spends most of its time running on the 2.0 litre petrol engine and has returned an average of 40mpg over the past 12 months ( alot of it motorway driving).

So, in my mind that is not helping the planet at all and I think i'd be doing less harm in a normal petrol or diesel car as i wouldn't have to lug 250kg of battery around with me everywhere for no real purpose.

there is no easy solution to our dependance on cars unfortunately and the debate will rage on for a long time yet i suspect.
