The interesting thing about mass uptake of electric vehicles is the way they could provide a place to store the excess power that comes from our power stations and wind farms. Similar to the Cruachan or Snowdonia pumped hydroelectric power stations.

Also.......
Toyota are launching a (remarkably hideous even for them) hydrogen fuel cell car.
If this approach can be made to work, and if takes off, it has the potential to be a bigger step forward than the pure electric battery cars.

The future is with us
