cost less to run than an equivalent petrol or diesel car
are reducing the harm done to our planet and its lifeforms
are quiet and smooth
can be refuelled with my own renewable energy production
can supply energy to the home and Grid
No! I am concerned they are just another way of making the car seem acceptable
That list of options is silly.
Its all about toxic exhaust emissions isn;t it?
BEVs don't solve any of the other problems with car use - congestion, resource use, obesity etc........but they do go a long wat to dealing with the toxic exhaust emission problem.
The diesel lovers on here need to face reality - once your dieselmotor is 10 or 15 years old with 100,000 odd miles it becomes massively polluting - belching carcinogenic filth which everyone else, including vulnerable children, have to breathe. The junk has no place on the roads of a civilised country, not least because it makes cycling and walking a lot less healthy and pleasant than it should be.
The emissions of BEVs on the other hand do not increase as the vehicle ages - and this is the obvious advantage of BEVs
