We own a couple of hybrids - no, not a Healey - and I won't be converting any or buying a fully electric car. The issue for me is range and the inability to recharge in any reasonable amount of time. I live in the country and our nearest charging point is 10 miles away and It takes hours and hours to charge. Using electricity from a domestic source is as bad if not worse. Both charging time and battery range that is critical for me. Several times a year we make a journey of about 1000km (each way) deep into France. Normally in a diesel or petrol car we can do this in about a day and a bit. If we added current recharging times that would add at least the better part of a day. On other occasions we make trips into the far Highlands of Scotland (a similar sort of distance). Up there there are *no* charging points. In fact most electrics wouldn't get me from my home to London without the need for a recharge! Don't get me wrong, in principle the idea is great and important. It is just that we are being sold a technology which isn't sufficiently mature. Conversions come in at tens of thousands of whatever your local currency is - at least! - which I simply don't have. I don't have a solution, although a hydrogen conversion might be more effective at some point.
