Don't you think they are doing you enough favours by running alternative fuel transport?

Don't you think they are doing enough for the environment and economy of NZ by not using fossil fuels, not to mention leaving fossil fuels for other people to use.

Don't you think they are investing in the future of the planet, without people investing in alternative fuels in the intermediate the technology will not get developed. Alternative fuel vehicles should be bloody well subsidised, to help wean us off the economic drain on NZ that is oil.

Should they be levying wind powered yachts somehow?

but if they become mainstream they will have to pay tax like everyone else

personally i would not levy them for now, just pointing out a potential issue

Tell ya what...in all seriousness...they'll be involved in even more acc than motorcycles are now. They're so quiet that the cage drivers won't hear them coming and do more lane changes/u turns than ever.

Actually I was reading a thing about electric cars in the Herald or somewhere and Nissan (I think) have made their prototype with simulated engine noise for that very reason.

Best way to simulate that noise is to burn petrol!
