I think the reduced fuel demand will be offset by the addition of recharge outlets at the majority of servos...and if there's a roughly 15 minute charge time we will need 3 times the number of 'filling stations' given the current (pun intended ) 5 minute average refueling time.

I'm curious to see how countries like Oz can produce enough electricity to reliability charge 30 million vehicles on an upto daily basis. We don't do nuclear and i doesn't make a lot of sense to use fossil fuels to make electricity so we can stop using fossil fuels

It's the same in the UK. They are telling us now that if everybody went electric now the electricity supply would collapse due to an inadequate charging supply. Our government has said we must all be going electric within 20 years so they are not in that much of a rush are they.
The manufacturing of batteries and the disposal of old ones apparently outweigh the green advantages of going electric at present. It is all political bull***t. Vote catching actually.

I suppose we'll still get a choice of seating position - cruiser vs sports etc

Yes, maybe the only choice that will be available

Tesla designed a generator that produced more electricity than it took to run. That same technology could be used to run electric vehicles (4 or 2 wheeled), so there is potential to have vehicles that could have basically unlimited mileage with no fueling required, but the government couldn't tax fuel that wasn't being used. Greed is the limiting factor.

Yes, Money & Greed. The main limiting factors.

The English government have to keep us paying for their excesses and fraudulent claims don't they.

I'm very skeptical of Elon's claims...the above generator would be perpetual motion in action...i don't think even Elon can break physics

If Elon Musk was in charge - It could work. Failing which - I'm rooting for Tony Stark's solution. https://gizmodo.com/how-iron-mans-arc-reactor-probably-works-1661613682

i think there,s a problem already with leaking amps ?
