People keep saying this, but is it really true? Teslas came to the UK with a claimed range of circa 250 miles about maybe 5 years ago now. And now we have the new Jag and Audi with a similar claimed range. It is not really moving on in leaps and strides.....

I find Manufactures just hold back technology to get the most out of existing, and it is the market that determines when they decided to bring in new technology. Canon prime example, would not replace the 5D as there was no market competition, but technology was all ready in place and waiting. |

I also read the other day, quote me as I cannot remember stats, but we less coal fired fuel in power stations this year.
"So far in 2018, 1,600 hours of Britain’s electricity needs have been met without coal being burned, more than double the number of coal-free hours in 2016 and 2017 combined. Britain is on track to get less than 5% of its electricity from coal for the first time since the Industrial Revolution, the Department for Business and Energy (BEIS) said. The country is also on track to take polluting coal power off the electricity grid ahead of the 2025 deadline set by ministers, the department said." |

All well and good, but a lot of the switch has been to gas not renewable so gas prices being pushed up even more with demand.

This article states the all Electric XC90 should be here in 2022.
https://www.carbuyer.co.uk/news/1644...ectric-in-2022 It includes "Our exclusive image shows what the new car could look like when it arrives." Looks like an XC60 to me Last edited by AB-UK; Oct 28th, 2018 at 14:31. |
