8 REASONS TO BELIEVE The change towards a sustainable transport and energy system is ongoing and inevitable. Our cars become more efficient, clean and safe. A major trend is electric driving. We see this trend in electric bikes, fork lifts, scooters and the car also. Electric cars with battery packs to store elec- tricity for driving. Such an electric car has two main limita- tions. Driving distance is limited, between 100 and 300 km. And the charging time of batteries is too long. About 8 hours for normal charging and above 10 minutes for fast charging, which is longer than the 1 to 2 minutes to fuel your tank now. Of course for many of our transport needs this is not a problem, but to drive to your work, going on holi- days and visiting clients or friends, it is not that comfortable.
