Electric Cars
at 11:19 22 Jul 2019

We have had a plug in Hybrid (Misubishi) and an electric Car (Renault Zoe) for 4 years. The issue is that 95% of all journeys are short and both use electricity only for these. I go to Ipswich station and can manage return with the 28 miles range on the Mitsubishi. The Zoe has a realistic range of 200 miles which covers all of my wife's journeys easily. There is charging at the station and where she works and we have an external charging point at home. When we go further, the Mitsubishi runs on petrol (like a Prius) and, if you manage the journey to the main roads on electric and then cruise on the dual carriageway, is very efficient (around 50 mpg for a large SUV). The above results in much less pollution of the near environment with un-warmed up engine journeys and the electricity is becoming greener as more is generated using reusable sources and nuclear. The pollution of town centres is, perhaps, the main thing that needs attacking and batteries will become more efficient as time passes. Electric cars are NOT unfit for purpose, but should be used to their strengths.
