Also praise for the Tesla Roadster, over a thing called a "G-Wiz" (p.127).


Quite an interesting read!
That is interesting. I'll find more time to read that all.

Its interesting that the author seems to dismiss the hydrogen fuel cell as being "so far behind in the race" There is still a lot of development to be done to extract the hydrogen for its use. Once that is achieved then surely the hydrogen is so plentyful and so enviromentally sound that it shouldnt be dismissed so easily.

The problem of electric cars is that fossil fuels are still being burnt to power up the batteries. then there's the question of why they make them so damned ugly ( G-Whiz )

I've long been dismissive of the hybrid Prius bandwagon that celebrities seem so fond of jumping on
