when you read that wiki article it soon becomes painfully obvious that our own domestic electricity strategy is fooked. france produces so much power that they actually sell off surplus!
my dream is a nuclear grid powering hundreds of hydrogen refining stations, and fuel cells in most cars - thus solving the charging conundrum. |
I used to be pro-nuclear, but it leaves such a legacy, and the effects if it goes all pete-tong is immense, I would rather see windfarms and the government installing solar energy on your houses too, than billions invested in nuclear power stations, but thats by the by.
With electric cars, you either got to have a way of recharging in a convenient time, or have a suplemental energy creation source onboard, otherwise, you are limited in runtime.
