2012 - a good year for electric cars


Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to everyone involved with electric vehicles.

In spite of all the negative and unhelpful rubbish printed in the media in 2012, this year has been one of continued progress. Sure, the number of EVs on the road and charge points in the ground is less than hoped for or forecast, and it is always sad to see businesses failing. But that's the nature of early markets, as the over optimistic and the naive fall by the wayside, to be replaced by the sober men in suits.

I have a sneaky feeling that 2013 may actually be better than many people think, but a lot is riding on Renault and BMW to deliver their promises with the Zoe and the i3. Good luck to them and to you, time to unplug for a few days of excess...
