BBC News - UK?s newest electric cars turning heads at last

The Vauxhall Ampera, I like the name.

"The Vauxhall Ampera began life in the US as the Chevrolet Volt."

From what I've herd the volt seems a pretty good car. I've always wondered why it's taken so long for a car to be given the same diesel(or petrol)-electric drive system that's been used in trains since the 1950s.

Personally cant wait to own a electric car, 20 years time I'll be able to buy myself a old Tesla roadster, replace the batteries*, practically new car that will outlive me.

Electric's the way forward and we'll get there quicker if people didn't take clarkson logic seriously. Can't understand the push for Hydrogen when it takes more electricity to process it than just charging a electric car (and that's not taking into account transport, development of suitable storage and new infrastructure for the developed world)


*I'd say as soon as the Lithium-air battery is fully developed and commercially ready it will mark the end of the average combustion engine

Well there is quite a bit of resistance to the electric car so why not

I think solar panels on top is the way to go charge as you drive.lol

I could put up with that - what about going round corners?

You won't need a car if you have one of them mate!

He had a few nice ones stuck in the garage.

I would bit your hasnd off for one but it is early days as they want to rent you the batteries plus they keep banging on about a run from Edinburgh to London on one charge but the vast majority run around town or have a 70 mile round trip
