Range 30-40miles..But it still might best the Lucas electrics on a wet night.
It's all Bo**Ox it's never going to be electric in the long term.We lease a Citroen electric van similar size to a tranny.From fully charged on a motorway we get roughly 80m before you need to recharge it, slighly more if you put it into economy mode.This means NO heating, air con no nothing. So when I send the electricians out to site say Newcastle, they have to stop for 2 hours going and two hours on the return to charge it to 80%.That means I have two electricians sat in services drinking coffee for 4 hours £200 and £70 to charge it Needless to say, we now hire a van and leave the electric crap at work for others to use it on short journeys and hire one.Hydrogen is the way all the major car companies are going and investing millions into it.Buy electric at your peril.Edit, forgot to add we can't generate enough electric now ! what we going to do when everyone starts plugging their cars in at night
Whether we like it or not…..it’s gonna happen. I don’t necessarily wholly agree with concept or objective, but we are missing the point. It’s about the introduction of a new market energy economy and that’s impossible if we rely on fossil fuels. It’s all about the money…as ever.And as for plugging in at night, get yourself familiar with smart grid…it can actually work.
