I just told the Freemasons to go do one.
I told them gracefully a few weeks ago that I want to quit, so they've just told me that I need to pay for a year's subscription in the next week (£200) or I'll have to pay £400 for another year. I've had two meals that are on par with primary school dinners at best (seriously, unedable), been to 2 meetings and paid around £400 so far.

Brotherly Love and Charity? What a load of bullshit. They have a worst buisnes practice than LA Fitness.

not so much.
I often can't park that near my house, I wouldn't want to run a cable out of my door or window and down the street. Particularly when it takes all night to charge.

For the cars as they are now to work you'd need regular charging points everywhere along residential streets, public car parks etc.

but aside from that, until you can drive 600 miles, charge up in a few minutes and then drive the same again etc. I'll stick with my diesel car thanks.

That is true.
I can't see electricity taking off as a serious alternative. The range limits it to city driving where, as you say, most people can't park near their houses.

The simple fact is that people won't change until they don't have to change their lifestyle to embrace it.

And people like me won't change because we fucking love petrol.
