France has started 'for rent' PHEVs for city use. They are little three wheelers which you hire from Charging Stations, and return to Charging Stations.

Whilst externally it looked the same it was now powered by a 191cc Sachs engine that gave the car a top speed of 65 mph and a fuel consumption of 87 mpg. Righto. Wtih a modern low emission ICE engine, (hydrogen powered) imagine how efficient that would be now. History normally repeats itself. This little device, would be much more practical than the little PHEV the French are making. Once again; "I do not think thaat EVs are the end all and be all, for personal, optional, private transport." They are just another technology, which has its uses. The more things change, the more they remain the same. Regards....Marum.

Marum You hit the nail on the head... 65MPH....no youngster with a nice young girl in the passenger seat is going to be buying a 65 MPH car. Until they get the el-cheapos with GRUNT onto the market no young person is going to help the figures. Cheers
