30 years later, and the electric car market is still miniscule.
There might start to be a market demand for them when petrol is at least twice as expensive as it is now. But there's some wiggle room to reduce the tax on it a lot.
Fair point given the whole model RC market users end up going for petro based models over the electric ones bases upon usage per charge and charge time and conveniance of charging factors. Maybe when that area changes things will progress, but that need a nice leap in battery technology.
I still feel though the whole electric vechile area needs more personal cheaper options and sadly even the electric bycicles options out there are not exactly cheap and flooding the markets.
When gas/petrol goes to 2x what it is now it'll be on a journey that is very fast and shoots to 3x, 4x and beyond. This will cause huge economic shocks and there won't be the time then to start building electric cars.
You could be right. For most European cities this wouldn't have a terrible effect, as everything is close together and we have things in walking distance.
