[T3] battery woes...

[Dave Hall]

It's not as soon as 2 or 3 years in UK, Germany and France, but the anti-diesel lobby is considerable. I believe Volvo have announced a complete move to hybrid and pure electric within that time. In cooler climates you'll be able to spot a Volvo driver by the scarf, gloves and thick coat! I just don't understand how cars will be heated without burning fuel.  

BTW, I'm impressed by the TSI engines in our VW Polo and Golf SV.

What I saw reported when this first came to light is that the engines 
produce 40 times more than allowed.

I just two or three short years both Great Britain and Germany (and I 
think maybe France as well) are going to ban the sale of internal 
combustion engines in new vehicles altogether.

When the number of electric vehicles reaches 50% of registered vehicles, 
I wonder what will happen to the price of fuel?
