Hi chocolate cake (yum!)
It’s hard to say. Electric cars are certainly gaining popularity, and using a renewable energy source (like electricity) is better than a non-renewable energy source (fossil fuels that will one day run out – like petrol). The biggest criticism I’ve heard about electric cars is that the battery doesn’t last that long so you have to know where charge points are, and wait for the battery to charge. Who knows if as electric cars are adopted, public charging points may become more available, and the design of the battery may even get better! A while back I heard about cars running on water, but don’t know what’s happened to that idea. So who knows!

Hi there,
I think it will be part of our future, but we have to make sure that the electricity that we’re fuelling these cars with is sustainable too. I don’t think it’s a massive improvement for the future if the electricity is being sourced from nuclear power stations for example!
What do you think?
