How far will electric transport take us?
7th July 2020
The FT looks at the future for transport, noting the rise of electric vehicles, as governments look to reduce emissions - with transport responsible for 15% of global emissions.
This brief, two minute clip looks at how vehicle manufacturers have ramped up production of clean vehicles, and how this trend is only likely to continue. Will this include a raft of electric flying taxis?
Economies of scale in manufacturing will lower unit costs and help to bring down prices. And as prices fall and the infrastructure of charging points become more widespread, market demand for electric vehicles will continue to grow.

Another coronavirus and green recovery article here in the Guardian, suggesting that demand for bikes is up, as is demand for e-scooters, and the associated infrastructure.
