I'm aware Scalextric crash barriers wouldn't stop an out of control car, but we have the basis for an idea.There would be cars flying off the road left right and centre, I don't think you've thought it through, unlike me and my flawless plan.

Bloody sunlight boasting twat ;-)Most people here charge them on solar
I like the idea of an EV, no smoke out the back and nice and quiet. However, the rather large elephant in the room is the price and lack of infrastructure. I also think this one size fits all doesn’t add up.
This is true unless it’s from renewables. The bigger issue is the environmental impact of making an EV which is substantially more damaging to the environment than building an equivalent ICE car.The smoke just comes out the back of a power station instead.
That last sentence is spot on !I'm aware Scalextric crash barriers wouldn't stop an out of control car, but we have the basis for an idea.
Also, I'm fairly sure drivers would control their cars slightly better than me and my mates controlled our Scalextric cars. And I mean slightly better judging by standards on UK roads.

Are the ones made from precious metals like for kings and queens and oligarchs? Think you mean rare earth minerals.What do you mean - scrapping a perfectly good existing car and replacing it with something made of precious metals mined across the other side of the world, shipped round the planet on a diesel tanker, combined with plastics and chemicals and filled with batteries with a 10 year life span and made up of unrepairable electronic components so it’s written off after a minor scrape, and all powered by electricity derived from fossil fuels anyway, sounds like the ideal solution to the world’s carbon problem to me.

In other news I’ve got a bridge for sale.
I believe vw have stoped making parts for beetles my mate sold his because of this, it’s like the are pushing people to EV whether they want it or notWhat do you mean - scrapping a perfectly good existing car and replacing it with something made of precious metals mined across the other side of the world, shipped round the planet on a diesel tanker, combined with plastics and chemicals and filled with batteries with a 10 year life span and made up of unrepairable electronic components so it’s written off after a minor scrape, and all powered by electricity derived from fossil fuels anyway, sounds like the ideal solution to the world’s carbon problem to me.

You’re being generous!It's eye opening when you go to other countries just how shit our transport infrastructure us.
Go to Denmark, Sweden or Germany and the combination of public transport and cycling infrastructure in their cities is like something from Star Trek compared to the UK. They're literally centuries ahead of us.
The UK is a shithole.
That's exactly what they're doingI believe vw have stoped making parts for beetles my mate sold his because of this, it’s like the are pushing people to EV whether they want it or not
