I'm not looking forward electrification, but seems necessary depending on your viewpoint, and is coming whether we like it or not.

I'm also not a Guardian reader. But this in the link is already an actual thing, and and will be a game changer.

When that is a availalbe on the forecourt I can't see many arguments left here... other than us wanting the sounds, smells and experience of combustion engines.

Electric will be here for a while, however will be overtaken by hydrogen fuel cells. Which you can top up like a petrol car in minutes. The only reason Electric has taken off is due to the marketing by tesla.

Yeah, and we have a never-ending supply of precious metals for the batteries. If only hydrogen was the most abundant element in the universe, then things would be different! :lol:

The precious metals needed are mainly from China with some in Australia and a few other spots (Afghanistan I believe has a deposit). Not sure I would want to set up manufacturing dependent on that supply chain these days.
