THE new electric car plant in Sunderland will produce very large numbers of electric vehicles, which run for 100 miles between chargings.
Instruments indicate when a charge is needed and the location of a public electric point.
Apparently these cars are very durable and mechanically simple.
However, two problems for which I have not found answers are the enormous time taken for recharging, and the need for an accessible house garage for domestic charging points to comply with safety regulations.
Here in The Groves area of York, for example, houses with garages are as rare as hen’s teeth, yet we are told that electric cars must soon take over.
