Tesla's new Model 3

[OliverGT]

I saw a Model S in the flesh the other day, was very impressed. The stats for it very impressive. 0-60 in 5-6 seconds 155 top end, obviously the batteries don't last long driven like that .

I was also reading comments from Model S owners, one was saying he has swapped is Jaguar XJ for a Model S and is saving some £5,000 a year in fuel costs. And I would imagine the servicing is a lot cheaper too as there is very little to go wrong.

Once the infrastructure is in place for charging, battery cars will be a lot more prolific. Where I work, there are about 1,000 people in the business park, there are regularly 2 Nissan Leafs in the car park. If you could park at work and charge your car, even if you have to pay, it might take a long time to charge, but if you are at work for 7-8 hours you will get a good charge in that time, and it's actually more convenient than having to stop at a petrol station on the way home.

For me, personally, an Electric car would work 100%, given that we have to have 2 cars in the family. But they are out of my price range at the moment, maybe one day...
