From Peter Wallace, Guildford, Surrey, UK
The future widespread use of electric cars is an unthinking assumption. Cars are a particularly inefficient mode of transport. Most spend 90 to 95 per cent of the time parked in driveways, car parks and on the road. A traffic jam of electric cars will still happen.
A mix of public transport, cycleways and footpaths would be far more efficient and better for our health and wallets. Electric cars could be rented when needed. A debate on sustainable transport policy is long overdue.
