Simple solutions for simple people who discard 99.99% of what is going on around them. One day the landlord might twig why everyone has left. Only simple people would think that the landlord had the solution. For rent: 2 bed apartment with parking and charging. |

For rent: 2 bed apartment with parking and charging. Is the parking space between your ears ?…as I was saying .. You can do all sorts of things with computers. You could rent a parking space and then when you are not using it you could sublet it to someone else and be your own car park. With computers, all this transactional stuff can be automated, so let suppose you are driving along, the computers could talk to one another. My car parking computer could tell a passing car looking for parking that my space is available for the next 2 hours. It's ultimately a game of optimising resources, not the level of bullshit. Computers are cheap, so allow them to fix your life's problems. |

And EV land rover can out accelerate a Maserati. No one ever boasted they bought a cheap ICE car with great acceleration. They boasted its 0 to 60. EV wins that hands down. And people compared MPG or should it be MP£ now, miles per £, Ev rinses ICE again. The only thing the luddites have left is charging time and that's becoming irrelevant as EV's pass the 500mile mark on a single charge. Sure it mattered when EV's did 120 miles on a bad day, but that's history. I didn't know that EVs were doing more than 500 miles on a single charge. That's great news. Which Make and model of car is that and how much does it cost? I take it that Zany ignored my question because there isn't one? |

I take it that Zany ignored my question because there isn't one? He lives in a dream world The Lucid Air Grand Touring starts at $110,900, but prices can vary over time. Here are some specifications for the Lucid Air Grand Touring Range: 512 miles |

BYD London buses 400m range with heating provided. Yes you sit on the batteries.

You can park it. The point is not necessarily outside of your flat. So how do you access non existent chargers , in a parking space that doesn't belong to you ? OK well think of it this way. How much is the freehold value of the property and how much is the combined value of the property plus a charger in percentage terms. Having established that, you then need to think if the extra cost is worth it. I mean these days everyone has their own indoor toilet since the cost of that is not a lot compared to the utility. I'd guess a charger would be sub 5% once they are mass produced. Some properties you will not need a car. I lived about 4m south of the city centre and the fastest way to get into town was a bus. You could catch one in 5m and then the bus would go about the same speed as the rest of the tragic, but you gained by the bus dropping you off right next to where you want to go. If you took the car you would have to park a fair walk away from your destination, and then if you went to several places on foot your last point of call may well be even further away from where you parked. So there are your options. Live close to the city centre in more dense housing and your travel times are shorter and public transport becomes more economical as the density of population increases and land is more expensive.
What a lot of people don't really understand is the concept of total cost of ownership. A standard car costs you in many ways. You have the price of the car, the depreciation, the service costs, the insurance and the road tax plus petrol tax to pay for the roads. You have to pay for the petrol stations and the tankers that deliver the fuel, plus you have to pay for giant storage tanks. You have to pay the cost of vandalism as well, and theft.
Indeed - EV's cost more, depreciate more, are more expensive to insure and can be more expensive to run than an equivalent ICE car. |

Unless you mean that the car doesn’t last very long |

Which current models are available that have batteries that last longer than the car .? Unless you mean that the car doesn’t last very long I see specifications of 6000 cycles for standard solar batteries. There are hundreds of different formulations of battery. I'm not doing your homework since you will throw it back in my face no matter what. |
