I seriously wish that someone in New Delhi, especially in the Energy Ministry and in the Planning Commission would read this. The fact is that electric vehicles do not have the range that gasoline vehicles do because they are slow to charge. But, for more than 90% of daily commuting, they are more than adequate. The fact also is that they are very cheap to run. Even mains supplied electricity costs vastly less than filling the tank up daily, and, if you use solar power to charge your car, you don't even pay for electricity.
Now, wait a minute - I hear skeptics like energy policcy specialist and all round idiot N N Sachitanand in India blabber about how inefficient solar PVs are. I've got news for these bozos and I've posted this on my other blog. A North Carolina solar panel manufacturing company has exceeded the efficiency of even the most advanced diesel engines. I also have information that Japan's Sharp Corporation (a division of Panasonic now) are planning to introduce their own very high efficiency solar panels in 2013 with efficiency levels competing with internal combustion engines. And, the "fuel" used in these solar systems, I must remind the anti solar bozos, is free.
