Twilight for the traditional ICE automobile

[QUOTE=GasoLane;6549467]You do realise that EV's aren't that new don't you?

From the article......

"In 1901, 38 per cent of the cars were electric, and 20 per cent or so were petrol, and in the middle, there was the outgoing technology of steam," says technologist and historian David Kirsch.

"If you'd asked the great experts of their age in 1900 which technology would come to dominate the motor-based transportation, I think most learned people would have said electricity."

I remember as a 5 year old in Armidale in 1970 listening to the electric thrum of electric carts that delivered milk. Along either side and below the flat bed were racks of batteries connected. Driver sat in front in open with a small roof, long flatbed tray with racks holding the milk behind him.

But the milk was in glass bottles that were recycled, and had that thick plug of full cream at the top of the bottle that had to be scooped out to let the milk flow.

And I remember watching black and white TV shows back then that showed rubbish being dumped into the ocean and concerns even then about the environment.

Nothing is new- recycling, electrics, concerns etc etc
