If we allow fully electric vehicles on our motorways then for sure some of them are going to fail going up a steep hill. Should the highways agency be planning to install charging points at the bottom of all hills do you think??
I agree that electric cars and much cleaner than hybrid vehicles for short trips in a city but are risky to take up the motorway if you trying to get somewhere within a reasonable time. Although there are just sufficient charging points for the present; the EVs still need at least half an hour each to charge up their battery. Can you imagine if you are third in line how frustrating that would be?
To solve that problem each motorway service station could become a mini power station with say a 5 MW generator of its own. But the genset would burn diesel, petrol or gas which is the same fuel the hybrid car is using already.
