THE FUTURE of electric transport was showcased at Beau Sejour last night.
Fully electric cars, a motorcycle and a number of bicycles were on show and representatives from vehicle companies and environmental groups were pushing the message that electric transportation is right for Guernsey.
Guernsey Climate Action Network member Richard Lord said the event should broaden the vehicles’ appeal.
‘Electric car technology is becoming increasingly economically viable, as well as more environmentally friendly,’ he said.
This was the beginning of a new era. ‘If the present trend continues, the world’s oil supply will run out this century and it costs more and more as it goes - but these cars cost less than one pence per mile to run.’
He said the full significance of the impact of traffic pollution could no longer be overlooked. (from thisisguernsey)

Boobs are like art. Not the kind of art where you stand around scratching your goatee and nodding, but rather the kind of art that you stick your face between and go, "Ppbbbbbbbbt"

From what i have been told they are really expensive to buy , i know you save money on fuel . I think i will wait until they come down in price until i look into it.

The figures don't add up yet. High initial cost, short battery life, high depreciation, short lifespan.
From an eco perspective, there are problems with the high energy usage in the production phase, the pollution from nickel mines and the fact that a significant amount of our electricity is produced from oil.
