You can rest easy, Nannieree, all of the Scheme’s electric cars have power steering. Actually, all of the electric cars sold in the UK have power steering, so I’m not sure where you heard that they did not.
They don’t have old-style hydraulic power steering, its electrically driven instead. But then, most new cars, electric or otherwise, have already moved to electric power steering as its cheaper and simpler than the old style hydraulic systems.
In life, it's not who you know that's important, it's how your wife found out.
