IronEddie:
Always feel electric vehicles are just shifting the pollution away not getting rid of it.
They’re moving the power source from the on board combustion engine to the grid, which is powered by an increasing amount of renewables (wind and solar) at a decreasing price.

wind turbines in the front grill to provide charging.
The law of the conservation of energy says this will not work. Any charge such turbines produce will be negated by increase aero drag.
To me it would make more sense to start with smaller vehicles like 3.5t and 7.5t delivery vehicles which do more low speed low range work. Nissan already have a small van e-NV200. I have seen them in Leeds.
