The search for alternative vehicles is in high gear. Most people understand the importance and advantages of considering alternative hybrid and electric cars, but some have reservations as far as seating capacity and recharging the vehicle.

For example, electric cars thrive on electric energy that can only be charged when parked at home. The Smart Ed, though not in the market just yet, is one good example. While many consider it a good second car to your normal fuel consuming vehicle, it can only perhaps serve one to two persons at a time. This is where seating capacity becomes an issue especially if you have your own family to think about.

But surely once demand picks up (which is expected to really increase in the coming years), provisions for larger capacity electric cars are sure to be introduced in the market. The Smart Ed is not in the market yet, but once it hits, it is sure to attract a lot of people looking to fight the ongoing oil crisis.

If you are thinking of replacing your existing family car with a smart ed, you’d better wait a few years.

All that said the great thing about the smart ed is that, with any luck, the technology will develop so a four-seater, family size car, with a decent amount of boot space and a substantial range will be possible. And there is also hydrogen cell technology.

The future of motoring has to be away from fossil fuels, so the smart ed is right at the beginning of that process.
