Its the way forward and China is way in the lead on these things
A lot of things still have to be done to make electric vehicles really "clean" and "eco-friendly", as they may not produce the particules that are coming out off diesel exhausts, but to produce them a lot more CO2 had to be produce for the creation of an electric vehicle.
Studies tell that you have to use an electric car for many miles to break even with a combustion engined car, and many more to make it an advantage.
Here's some reading, while I continue driving my old diesel, until they don't allow me to drive it anywhere anymore.

Read a it and plenty of others like it read it properly words like estimate appear everywhere, also it fails to estimate how much energy it takes to produce fossil fuels. Germany is a good place to make a bad point they have dumped nuclear in a big way and gone back to coal, strangely they dont believe this has caused any CO problems! Today everywhere you look wind turbines are going up so our energy is cleaning up rapidly, it doesnt matter to the anti green brigade though they will just cite figures that turbines are more dirty than clean coal because of manufacturing methods etc etc, completely forgetting how much COs are created in digging up coal and transporting it thousands of miles. The truth is transport costs it doesnt matter what powers it! Electrics big advantage is that it doest kill kids in cities and towns like diesels do, NOX sits where it produced until the wind moves it somewhere else to continue killing and maiming

I'm no fan of motor cycles. But isn't part of the point of a bike, the noise. It'd be like having an opera without singing surely. Rog What a beautiful turn of phrase! I'll remember that and probably pinch it now and again 👍🍻 Although some operas are best watched with the mute button on Theres rather a lot I watch with the mute button on...sport(if I have to), news, pop stars..that awful X factor...I leave the moving pictures cos somehow its not so lonely..but I don't need to hear.
