EV's are coming along - this is a good video - the first few minutes are a bit slow but well worth the wait.
This does remind me of Christmas though - you remember, the ultimate toy and no batteries - a bit of a tease. This more a case of batteries included but I am not allowed the toy!

Now this is futuristic but available now - just 5000 bhp. Built in Dubai (where else) - just pop it on you Christmas list - its never too late!

How about a car that will run on 4 grammes of fuel per year. Yep its possible with Thorium. And if you pick up a handful of sand on a beach in Cornwall you probably have that in your palm. So what's the catch?
Well there is a small problem. You will need to create nuclear fission and that needs a temperature as hot as the surface of the Sun, and you will need a perfect vacuum and you will need a magnet so powerful that it could undo a Bra clasp at fifty feet. But apart from that it is looking viable soon. Oh yes the 0-60 time is a problem. Radiation leakage could add 60 years to your body age in just 2.9 seconds.
But hey - cars were a problem until Henry Ford.

If you have 45 minute to spare or maybe just twenty to see the most interesting part - take a look at how trains will evolve. There is absolutely no kit car relevance here at all but it is awe inspiring.
