The folks at Tesla tell me that the new Model S sedan, coming out in mid-2012, will have as much as 320 miles of range and can accept a 30 minute quick charge (50 percent of the total) from a highpower charging station.
Drax will get 10% of its fuel from British sources like these and there's a high-walled maze at the powerstation of blocks of chopped miscanthus next to high mounds of shredded willow.
Horizon Nuclear Power said a new station could deliver up to 800 high quality permanent jobs, rising to 1, 000 during maintenance and up to 5, 000 jobs during construction.
Ride south for about one-and-a-half kilometres and you will reach the Bauhaus-inspired facade of the Reading PowerStation, iconic in its 1930s styling and its 150m-high chimney.
