A survey of UK drivers by YouGov has revealed that most of us
don't see electric cars as a better alternative to conventional
cars in the long term.  In response to the statement "electric
cars are the only real future alternative," only quarter of
2,000 motorists actually agreed with it. Around half disagreed
with it entirely. The other quarter said "meh".  Almost 70% of
drivers think electric cars are a "limited" alternative to
today's internal combustion cars, suggesting that, despite the
best efforts of Nissan and Renault*, an electric future is far
from assured.  Half of all drivers reckon hydrogen is a better
alternative, while slightly fewer (41%) believe that the way
forward is to produce more efficient petrol and diesel engines,
even for the long term.  Hydrogen power - which Honda is a known
proponent of, having put the FCX Clarity on sale in the US -
circumvents the electric car's main issue, of long charging
times, by using hydrogen to produce electricity. A hydrogen car
can be refuelled just like
