Yes, Malcolm, one electric car has destroyed all of those lovely ICE vehicles. Sounds reasonable to me

I wonder what will happen the first time one catches fire on the Chunnel.

Indeed 
they need to STOP the roll out of electric cars and trying (and failing) to be carbon neutral etc until 2075 at least .

I saw a learner in a driving school car yesterday, driving what appeared to be an electric car.
Anyone know the legalities of what you can / cant drive if you take your test in an electric car ?

Presumably you can't drive a car with a manual gearbox. Or you'd think so anyway, but that would be common sense!

You are entitled to drive any automatic vehicle, the same as if you pass your test in an ICE automatic.

Electrics arent exactly like automatics though afaik ?  Do they have drive / neutral/ reverse/ and a selector for various gears like an auto ?

Perhaps just a forward and back switch?

Must check one out when Im back in work Friday. If it is just a forward / back switch, thats quite different, for a novice, from driving a normal auto car.

That's all my Merc has .... ie a column stalk (there's park & neutral too)
