Cars are the second most expensive investment after the family home, a status symbol and, in some cases - just visit a major motor show - a love affair.

Yet electric cars seem to polarise: people either love them or hate them, with little room for indifference.  Why is this?

Electric cars will change the way we travel and the close relationship many of us currently have with our cars.

Most articles published about them seem to draw criticism.  Sometimes this is justified, but as Professor Thomas Bräunl has found with recent articles on The Conversation - this criticism is mostly unfounded.

His current article responds to some common questions that readers have raised.

Professor Bräunl is Professor of Robotics at The University of Western Australia and Director of WA Electric Vehicle Trial.
