From Dan Robinson, St Albans, Hertfordshire, UK
Barlow asks what would make people switch to a pure electric car. I would switch when they are as practical and affordable as standard vehicles. A serious impediment is charging the batteries, but not because of the “range anxiety” that Barlow mentions. Like many people in the UK, I have to park my car on the street, and charging at home is impossible for me. The closest charging point that I know of is at a supermarket more than a kilometre away. I wouldn’t leave a car there to charge overnight.
