Electric cars

Although I stopped my car driving 20 years ago, I continue my interest in what is happening in the world of cars. 

All of us are witnessing an interest in electric vehicles among consumers as well as manufacturers. The latest news that the famous car manufacturer BMW is introducing two versions of it's mini EVs is interesting. I do hope that such cars will help enormously in these times of vehicular pollution.

Although EVs seem to be a very environmentally friendly, I think that their safety aspects due to over charging etc. cannot be ignored. According to news reports, there were a few incidents of  accidental burning of EVs during charging. 

Safety aspects should be thoroughly experimented and analysed with careful follow up before rolling EVs into mass production and distribution.
