Re: Who killed the Electric Car ?
A friend of mine has just bought a Toyota Prius which has an electric motor plus batteries and a petrol engine. Normally both the petrol engine and electric motor run and the combination ensures you have fully charged batteries but can achieve excellent petrol consumption (50-60 mpg). Apparantly it is easy to manage this lot because it is run by a computer which optimises everthing. This may not yet be the holy grail but it is a step forward and solves some of the previous problems with electric cars.
