From a basic design perspective, I wonder why the central charging bays are linear.? -Surely they should be at 45 degrees, to allow better access and greater numbers of charge-points for that length of run.?
Also I was surprised they didn't look to incorporate a wind turbine within their profile, as well as the solar panels. It would also make the site more remotely visible, as a bonus.
No more diesel or petrol engines made in 10 years time?

Re: No more diesel or petrol engines made in 10 years time?
I think the majority of cars have their charging point at the rear, so angled bays would encourage reversing... This is not always a productive exercise. Plus I think there may be a bit of "keeping with the familiar"StMarks wrote: From a basic design perspective, I wonder why the central charging bays are linear.? -Surely they should be at 45 degrees, to allow better access and greater numbers of charge-points for that length of run.?

I'm sure they mentioned wind power in the interview, I may be wrong but didn't they touch on poor weather and not being able to generate with solar?

Re: No more diesel or petrol engines made in 10 years time?
Might be to do with the fact that there is no standard position for a charging point on electric cars and they don't want anyone knocking a charging cable. I would guess the consequences of danaging one could be quite big.
I know quite a few have charging points on both sides.

Maybe the ICE isn't dead, but maybe it will live in a different guise.
