'it's emission-free' - yeas, in the vehicle, but that electricity has got to come from somewhere, and that'll involve emissions, unless...

'since it ultimately draws power from the national energy grid, it means that it can run on renewable energy from wind, solar and hydro-electric power'

Given that wind, solar and hydro cannot provide anything like enough for our domestic energy demands, how are they going to provide our domestic *and* transport demands?

We're gonna need all that renewable electricity for things far more important.

When cheap oil goes, the age of the ordinary person's motorised personal vehicle is over.
