  And then when you go to hand the car back, experience a pushy salesmen who will talk you into buying one :)

  I will need a very long electric lead to reach my car when it's parked in the road.

  It looks good but it costs £30,000 to buy..... although you would be eligible for a £5000 government grant, which is still about twice the cost of your average car. How many miles will you have to drive to make a saving on the cheaper running costs?!

  To drive down to Cornwall from Leicester in one of these I would need to book an overnight stay somewhere I could recharge the car. Garbage idea electricity. Powerstations still have to work to give you that electricity and you can simply top up the car in 5 minutes when it's running low.
  
  I'm all for saving the eviroment but I don't see electric cars as the answer. Hydrogen maybe.

  Electric motor powering the wheels, and a diesel engine supplying electricity, is a much better idea than these current 100% electric cars.

  I have to laugh at members rubbishing electric cars, who here travels more than 90 miles a day? A Leaf is not designed to travel from Leicester to Cornwall but neither is a Top Fuel Funnycar, horses for courses. One day we will laugh at the complexities of what we call the modern day car.
  
  @chapchap This has been successful with diesel locomotives and is the best intermediate solution.

  
  
  Top fuel funny car, like a GT40? Thats why theres petrol stations up & down the country. Not many places to charge your electric car and will take hours to charge.
  The solution for now is the engine should charge the battery, but the car will be running completely on battery power, the engines job will be to just charge, less moving engine parts, much lighter to reduce weight & very little fuel is needed. Combine with solar panels if possible to power lights, heater, radio etc. Cars like the prius are only useful in traffice jams, city driving but still very poor mpg.
  The leaf is only useful for a grocery getter, a very expensive grocery getter but if you dont drive much, whats wrong with having a 1.2liter car that you hardly use?
