THE SLOW LANE - We all live fast lifestyles. Waiting 30 minutes for rapid charging, even with smart technology, potentially strains the grid, damages batteries, and strains relationships. When the battery of your EV breaks down, how will they service it by the roadside? At the moment, they will tow your car to the nearest garage for repair. With the SmartNet system, a battery cartridge may be replaced in minutes by the roadside - and you are ready to go. Many OEMs have not thought that far ahead yet - but 2030 is looming fast. Just nine years to zero carbon.

There are faster ways of refuelling an electric vehicle, in just a couple of minutes. Battery swapping could be the solution, provided that it is properly thought out and developed with collaboration from all concerned. Hydrogen is also in the running despite inefficiencies in the conversion chain, with development of liquid hydrogen and high pressure hydrogen containers likely in the next 3-5 years, giving us hydrogen batteries.

CANCER - Many of the compounds released during burning of hydrocarbons are associated with cancer and often cause short irritation of the respiratory tract and eyes. 

Motor vehicle emissions contribute to air pollution and are a major ingredient in the creation of smog in some large cities. A 2013 study by MIT indicates that 53,000 early deaths occur per year in the United States alone because of vehicle emissions. According to another study from the same university, traffic fumes alone cause the death of 5,000 people every year just in the United Kingdom.

1921 - A chain driven electrically powered van in Buffalo, N.Y. It was called an automatic, because there was no gearbox. They were easier to drive and did not need starter handles that most women could not manage, hence this picture advertising a lady operator. Professor Ferdinand Porsche invented battery cartridge exchange in the early 1900s. This was for his electric cars. He also even invented the hybrid, where a petrol generator charged the onboard batteries that powered electric hub motors.
