Battery power
It looks like the next couple of years will include some cool new electric cars. I'm hoping there will be some affordable models.

One that's getting lots of attention is the [Farady Future FF91](https://www.ff.com/en/). This Chinese company has not produced a car before that I know of and they have a few bumps in their progress, but it's supposed to be quicker than a Tesla with similar range. Will probably have a similar price too and it's not initially available in Europe.

I only just learnt about the [Jaguar I-Pace](http://www.jaguar.co.uk/jaguar-range/i-pace-concept-car/index.html). This is also a premium car, but Jaguar already have experience in that market. I don't think it looks as good as their other models. That square back end looks odd, but maybe that's expected to be the style next year when it comes out.

I'd like my next car to be electric, but it's likely to be something more modest. I'm happy with normal car performance and a range of 150 miles would handle 99% of my journeys with ease. There are more places to charge popping up, so that should be less of a barrier. We have to move on from burning oil. It's encouraging to see more options for the future.

I'd love an electric car for my next one too but I live in a rented apartment and until I can get access to a charging point I'll have to wait. :(

For me the best option at the moment is the leaf. It's an electric car designed from the ground up to be an electric car. Most of the others are just modified petrol cars. With the exception of Tesla of course but that's must out of the price range completely. Maybe when the model 3 gets released :)

I think a few of the newer models are being designed from scratch. The Jaguar is. They need to be to accommodate large batteries. I would hope there will be ways to charge for people in apartments too. That could be built into parking spaces without cables (inductive charging) and activated by something in the car.

This technology is way overdue. Electric cars require vey little maintenance too. ☆☆☆☆☆😎

That's also a plus. No oil, coolant, spark plugs etc to need replacing. I hope we will see some breakthroughs in battery performance and price as this is a large part of the cost. At some point they could be cheaper than a conventional car.

I hope so. There's a lot of toxic fumes that we are all breathing from gas engines.
