Getting my usual daily dose of the latest motoring news this morning ............
Ford ........... https://www.msn.com/en-au/motoring/...p&cvid=f1d3aa2677bd4518adc7abc1171f862d&ei=11
GM ..... https://www.msn.com/en-ae/news/othe...veals-excessive-complexity-weight/ar-AA1bwp16
It seems reality is bigger, more complex and heavier than dreams of a pollution free vehicle appeared a few years ago.
More resources = more research costs = longer range = bigger batteries = more vehicle weight = less payload ? = less practicality ?
The idea of these vehicles (even ICE versions) on Australian roads with muppets on a base level car license is terrifying, made worse by the likelihood of towing a ginormous caravan on a narrow regional country.
