Re: The Automobile, friend or foe?
Being wheelchair dependent I rely on my car to get me everywhere. Taking the bus to go shopping for example is out of the question for me. No plans on getting an electric car as there are so few places here where you can recharge the batteries. I'll stick to my low petrol consumption car as long as I canRe: The Automobile, friend or foe?
Neither friend nor foe, I'd say, but individual mobility has become a necessity to some extent for which a car is not needed, though, except in rural areas. What you wrote about "the good old days" sounds a bit romanticised to me and is not due to the spread of automobiles alone.Re: The Automobile, friend or foe?
Re: The Automobile, friend or foe?
For my wife and I, there can be no substitute for a gas engine car. Our one is a Suzuki and at zero annual road tax is obviously very fuel efficient. We do not cover a high annual mileage, so our contribution to the rising CO2 levels is minimal. If hydrogen for combustion was readily available, then I would consider the relatively simple conversion from petrol, but I doubt if this will be offered as there is too much big money tied up in electric cars and their batteries.Re: The Automobile, friend or foe?
