A lad at work has an electric car called a G-Whizz and I am impressed with it because it so easy to use and in traffic it is quieter than a RR on the move in free moving traffic all you hear is a whine.
He asked me to have a look at a small generator he has, the idea being that the generator is kept in the boot and should a lack of power occur then he has a get out of jail card.
He wanted me to rewire the ignition system on the generator so that after say one hour the genny stops.
I had a quick look and then it hit me -simple-just put enough petrol in it to run for 1 hour.
Any way we tried it by allowing the battery to go low and a 2 hour genny run put enough in to get the car 6 miles.
The boss at work has also suggested power points in the car park connected to a coin meter ( you have to pay for the power because the tax man will get funny about it.
Give it 10 years and I can see many more electric cars on the road.
Hybrid cars I think will prove to be a dead end
