These cables contain a lot of copper so are far more likely to be stolen, set on fire somewhere to burn off the plastic insulation to get at the copper, and recycled somewhere on the shady side of the scrap yard.

Exactly ,that was my point . Seems we now have more people posting , being realistic , In an ideal world we are wrong , but we are being led by the nose with hype , seen political garbage coming out before the election ? Must start a windfarm , then i get paid even if no wind ..Guess who pays ?

The point about cables is obviously valid, but is it in itself reason not to install public charging points? Railways suffer exactly the same problem, but the impact is random disruption rather than bringing the whole network down?

 The original script writing team for Star Trek came up with a whole host of ideas as to how things would work in the future and many of them have already moved from fiction to fact. We won't be getting the transporters any time soon, but I wonder what their line of thought would propose for future caravans rather than the current "just make it smaller and lighter" designs.

Leaving aside the price, it does look rather interesting. The range at 250 miles is reasonable but it would tend to preclude spending a few nights sequentially on aires unless they were pretty close together. For such a vehicle to go mainstream there is going to need to be a massive investment in the charging network.

I see the latest C&CC mag has devoted several pages to the future of touring, haven't had time to read it yet.
