Unfortunately the percentage who live in crowded cities is already in the region of 50%. That is a large market and crowded streets for car manufacturers. And a wave of momentum that Government will legislate for. It will demonstrate their green credentials, visibly. Be warned.

I can see riding on that wave will be a healthy market for tow trailers loaded with batteries (and PV), (and caravan+battery too, because towing will reduce the range). Round airports you get huge coaches with plenty of luggage storage that still find the need for a luggage trailer. Limits define solutions.

Charging points will increase with demand. It just needs that true fast charge battery to make it feel the same as petrol. Tesla are halfway there. The momentum is growing, the research funds shadow that.

FWIW, in the video, Tony Seba compares the road deaths (Tesla figures) for AV and human. The ratio is humongous. Add a pinch of salt and it is still compelling.

Price will drive it and he predicts that vector. I aim to be around to see how it pans out.
