I am not looking for a show of hands on this but my eldest son, who is 32 years old, had always said he was never going to learn how to drive and asked why he would bother when he had access to public transport. He is now living farther from public transport and has bought a petrol car. He could not afford to buy an electric one. I assume none of our guests has a car. Do they expect they will never buy one? How many of them think they will own a car in ten years?
