We find people fall in to two categories: those who love electric cars, and think they’re the future, and those who don’t want to give up on petrol. It is, perhaps, unsurprising that we, as gadget and technology lovers, find the idea of electric cars brilliant.
If you look at it logically, once battery technology improves – and it’s going to over the next few years, in leaps and bounds – electric cars will have a range similar to a petrol burner and be chargable far faster than they are now. …

While normally the strongest of rivals, German auto giants BMW and Daimler have joined forces to help come up with the design for the electric car of the future.
Most approaches towards electric car design has so far led to vehicles that either are too heavy and too expensive or fail to meet standard safety requirements for new cars.
Now, BMW and Daimler, together with scientists at the Technical University Munich (TUM), are attempting to develop concepts for electric cars that are efficient, safe, and inexpensive.
The parties have formed the joint …
