Among those present was Ian Fells, now emeritus professor of energy conversion at Newcas-tle University. “I said at the time that [to make it work] you’d have to ban cars from central London, and probably from central Birmingham and other large conurbations.

“You can see the sense of electric vehicles, but actually, when you come to use them, they have a range of about 50 miles, so by the time you’ve driven 35 miles you’re starting to drive very cautiously, wondering whether you are going to get back home again.”
