Interesting how different we all are.
The days of Diesels are over, all manufacturers moving away from producing them and absolutely no further development being done.
Hydrogen is still blue sky thinking, with expensive production costs, very few outlets with hydrogen pumps, the system will only make money on HGNs and PSVs not cars, difficult to plug in and literally freezing pump nozzle won’t go down well in the eyes of general public.
In most cases now, the days of large cylinder petrol are dying also. I used to be one who would never have any engine under 2 ltrs but now I have a Skoda Superb Estate DSG with a 1.5 tsi twin turbo and cylinder deactivation. I get 42 mpg and it’s still quick and happily sits above the national speed limit on motorways. Changed my views on engine sizes.
Finally, I don’t agree that the electric infrastructure isn’t there, I will go battery in October as I have looked at the cars, the infrastructure and capabilities. Even in my town of 6,000 people, we have many public chargers, the big city near us has implemented Street chargers.
I don’t agree there is no choice, my issue has been whittling it down to a couple of cars.
But as I said, we are all different
