I love this show!!! However, I think they give the electric cars a fair chance. I have my share of gas powered vehicles, 2008 Range Rover HSE, 2006 Mercedes S550, and a 1969 Pontiac GTO. I have driven the Tesla Roadster and it is AWESOME!!! Sure the range on the battery is not as much as a gas vehicle, but 150 miles is pretty decent. Battery powered vehicles are the future. I am anxiously awaiting my Tesla Model S which will come with an extended range battery pack that gets over 300 miles a charge.

i prefer the pegeot but the worst theory of electric cars is that with all of them excluding hybrids they all take a bloody long time to charge so from my point of view forget them just get a fast diesel instead

Is it just me or does that electric Peugeot look suspiciously like the Mitsubishi electric car with a Peugeot logo?

Well, the electric car episode was entertaining. You blokes obviously think alot of yourselves. However, as a product review, it was pretty lame. Any fool would stop to add some additional charge before they run completely out of energy, whether petrol or battery. Also, one would not have to wait 13 hours for a full charge, if you only needed to add a few miles to get to a more suitable charging location. As it is, given your performance on this review, you have lost all credibility with me for any other of your reviews, since one cannot assume your review is any more realistic on those than it was on this one. But, thanks for playing...
