[QUOTE="Cowabunga, post: 7778179, member: 718"] JCB have fully electric mini-diggers, but do not believe it practical for more intensively used professional diggers and tractors. They are betting on hydrogen. As far as cars go, the technology is advancing rapidly but the biggest real advance is going to be Tesla's new cells to be built in the USA and Germany initially. These are to be produced in volumes that dwarf all the opposition counted as one. They will also be between 30 and 50% cheaper to produce than the current opposition and will have an estimated 100,000 charge cycles for a million mile lifetime with a far higher energy density and less wasted space when assembled into batteries. These will be used initially in the Berlin ModelY and the Cybertruck. Charging time, bulk and weight is the main constraint when it comes to intensive heavy duty applications. They may be fine for town-based local delivery medium trucks but for most uses the current battery technology is of limited utility. The question remains as to whether the UK has or even will have the charging infrastructure required for full vehicle electrification. The grid and generating capacity is currently nearly maxed out, considering that the supply from France has been cut due to a fire. There is a new supply available from Denmark, only just come on line, but UK energy security, just like its food security, is lamentably and dangerously inadequate. [/QUOTE]
