    A regular member of these forums will be looking for a way to re charge them from solar power or Safefill gas.

    And other regular members of the forum will be making snide comments. 

    Nothing changes.

    Nothing changes? What are you saying ?

    This is an enormous change, affecting the whole motoring world over the next few years.  EHUs will be installed everywhere for re charging this new generation of vehicles.

    Please don't quote selected parts of my post. The post needs to read as a whole to understand my meaning.  I am sure that most forum members have the Wit to grasp the point I was making.

    I thought LPG powered cars were becoming obsolete?

    The question is are the announcements from Volvo and JLR anything more than PR puffs.  A 100% electric car is one thing but a hybrid is something else entirely, you could fit very small motors so that the car is still being powered by an  internal combustion engine 90% of the time but still called hybrid.
