That sounds about right! You couldn't make it up...

Ross - thanks for the BBC electric car link. I note that it calls up another story that includes an arresting quotation: "Charging your car overnight could be cheaper than filling it up with petrol, says Transport Secretary Philip Hammond". For something that everyone I know had taken as read, that sounds somewhat equivocal. Does he know something about electricity prices that we don't..?
Who would buy an electric car if it wasn't cheaper to run?

Don't know if I should laugh or cry on this one
