Have you got one? A hybrid or fully electric?

It's said that the sale of new petrol or diesel cars will be "banned" by 2030. Is that realistic?

What are the practicalities of such vehicles? Some straightforward electric cars look like glorified bubble cars! The range of the electric cars isn't that great for a long journey. "Bigger" cars seem no better? I was looking at a Mecedes, fully electric, range about 290 miles. That all? And the cost? Over £70k.  U muz b jokin?

A lot of them have a projected range but it's followed by an asterisk. Same with the re-charging time, 20 minutes? That's followed by another asterisk. It's "all depending" on this that or the other?

How long do those batteries last before they need re-placing and at what cost? Do the batteries need completely exhausting before you re-charge them?

I suppose for running round a city they're OK but for most mortals living away from a large conurbation, they're impractical really?

They say the move to electric is to "improve, reduce or eliminate" emissions and improve the environment? OK, so where does that leave the manufacture of the batteries and the re-cycling of exhaused ones? Won't that also have an environmental impact? 

So the sale of new diesel & petrol cars is to be banned after 2030 but what's to stop manufacturers or retailers registering new vehicles before the ban date and then continuing to sell them? They won't be "new" but they are "new"???? Will there be some crafty move to prevent that dodge?

It's about time some bright spark invented an engine that runs on water which is, after all Hydrogen and Oxygen. The engine would separate the Hydrogen for powering a vehicle and the excess Oxygen would be released to the atmosphere. I suppose if that happened there would be a Law introduced that you could only use "Government Water" which carries a tax
