The best systems are those than charge the batteries when braking, this should be the only method of charging them and only that way do you save energy and reduce emissions.
sorry, but not falling for these zero emission vehicles - at the exhaust pipe yes, but your just moving the emissions else where. Yes there's wind farms, but to create these uses more energy then they can actually produce in their lifetime.
Welcome to the Nuclear age - the only way to produce the power "cleanly"
until something goes wrong and we all die!
think it's time to walk....!

I think the repayment time on a wind generator is a about 3 years for one for my house, why are the farms so different? There's solar and wave as well.
I'm puzzled by the quoted emissions as well. 124mpg doesn't equate to those emissions. I was wondering if it was a missprint and should be 67g CO/KM, which would be more in line with the mpg figure.
