The benefits of EVs appeal - I reckon a small hatchback EV would be an absolute hoot on my drive to work down the lanes, instant torque for maximum giggles Currently though EVs just aren't ready for mass rollout (neither the cars themselves nor the infrastructure).

Whilst my daily commute would work ok with an EV (I could charge overnight on my driveway) I need the car to be capable of long runs as well. Charging times need to come down drastically, cost needs to come down, range needs to go up, battery life needs to improve. Give it another 10 years of development and we might get there.
