Re: Please compare to Tesla?

Not a hybrid, so less need to plan ahead or carry a VERY long extension lead and a hotel chain membership card. I am fully aware Tesla is working on a solution (looking forward to that), but the present reality is that having a petrol tank in addition to a power socket seems to be the most practical solution for anything that needs to go further than a few local shops.

Personally, I prefer the hybrid approach because it does regenerate energy from braking, but is not full-on dependent on how many duracells under the bonnet still carry a charge.
