Cars on the electric bill

6/5/2015

The major difference between petrol cars and an electric one is that the electric cars do not have nearly as many moving parts and do not need so much maintenance. No gear box, no pistons and sump, not even so much use of the brakes. It is more like a fridge or TV and can be delivered to your home for instant use without involving a dealer.
With this simplicity in mind which electricity company is going to be the first one to put a car on the electricity bill?
That's how the electricity companies helped introduce the early appliances into the home.

Yes New Zealand is rural - Thank God, that's why it is great to live in the land of the Long White Cloud, instead of somewhere near the Tar Sands of Alberta in Canada, or smog ridden Beijing.

Yes much of our emissions on output by agriculture and I know our Universities are working on cutting down emissions.

One big place we can make a difference is in transport .. that is where the thrust should be. Today's media as follows -

The Guardian:

"New Zealand mulls carbon markets to meet climate targets"

Hello Bob. You are so well informed on NZ. I managed to get some good posts on the articles you highlighted. One advantage of NZ is that because it has such a small population talking to MP's is relatively easy. I have just been talking to two (Greens) this afternoon who were driving Tesla cars.

Electric cars are not having gear box, sump and piston, not even much use of brakes. However, it is more like a TV or fridge and can be delivered to home.
