Exactly. Some people will always need to charge BEV's at charge stations, and some won't. There are not 38.4 million petrol stations. Some people will always need to charge BEV's at charge stations, and some won't. There are not 38.4 million petrol stations.

Here is an ambulance for you. Don't spill your coffee, haha

Buy a Tesla ? I was just explaining that there is an option if the battery is low. Batteries and charge points are improving but for some not there yet. It is very easy to find a negative reason in any argument and fixate on that. As for your cruiser. Probably not a good candidate for electric unless you can build a flux-capacitor ?

If you charge it by a diesel genny then yeah, obviously not very green. May I suggest charging via a gerbil powered flywheel. And if grid power is not available probably not a good choice which I never claimed it was. I am not trying to say the battery power density is there yet for all machines but it's coming.

I am going out on a limb thinking you don't have this situation every week and going further out on a limb guessing you don't normally fill your car's petrol tank at home every night.

The smell of used chip fryer oil when a canal boat passes will drive people crazy or to the riverside chippies ?

Perhaps you do not realize that Caterpillar has electric bulldozers, JCB is going electric too. Some of the largest mine earth movers are electric, robotic too.

Electric motors are much more efficient than diesel. And you can not convert 3Kw motors so easily to HP when it comes to power at the propeller.

Cars in most cases will not need to charge at peak times. They will charge in the early mornings using cheaper tariff rates when people are tucked up in bed.

That is so old school. Rule number one before touching the controls is to whip the camera phone out.

Ah yes. Reminds me of the good old days when you didn't need them.
