Electric cars.

I know, however, we won'y know until when, when it's too late, like always.

You really couldn’t be more wrong on this.

Public chargers or not, I still maintain that charging over 40 million cars is a lot of electric, and we don't really have a prayer of charging that lot and keeping the lights on

Public fuel stations or not, I still maintain that filling 40 million cars is a lot of petrol, and we don't really have a prayer of distributing that amount of fuel and keeping the trains running.

We’ve only got a finite number of prayers available, but I still maintain keeping my performance EV on the road trumps all 3rd World problems.

In other news, ESB have confirmed that there’s no shortage of electrons on the island of Ireland. You lot on the UK mainland may not be so lucky.

so when we all have these lekky thingys, how do the not so well off put a fiver or tenner of juce in

While i at it, if a bev developes a fault on an all lane motorway does it just stop like a dizzy scooter or can it coast to a refuge area, i genuinly don't know the answer to this

Same way as they put the decomposing residue of millennium old forests in their ICE’s

No. They’re just like normal cars, just with a different power source. There’s no crazy magic involved.

So you can just stick a tenner in, how far will that go

Well, when your tenners worth of electrons run out, you won't be able to lug the battery a mile to the nearest charging point will you.
So that's another £50-100 a year on breakdown recovery.
