Transport in the future


Meet the Watts. They are a three-car family in the near future
which uses electric vehicles.
Bob is similar to most commuters. He charges his car at home overnight so its
ready for the morning rush hour. If he needs more electricity, theres a charging
station in the oce car park.
Sonias car travels about 30 kilometres on a full battery so its good for short trips
such as going to the shops or visiting friends nearby. The car also has its own
computer which tells her if there are trac jams or road works on the road ahead.
Justin works from home but enjoys going on a long journey in his sports car at the
weekend. Instead of going to a petrol station for petrol, he can change his battery on
the motorway or plug into a high-voltage charger. Another device in the cars
engine stops him from going over the speed limit.
Their neighbours still use a car with a petrol engine but most cars have electric
engines. The roads are quieter and there is less pollution so life is also better for
pedestrians and cyclists!
