this will kill shops like Argos, Currys/PC World and all retailers where bulk items need to be collected and cant be carried on public transport. Cant see too many people paying to travel to the town centre to buy something and then having to pay delivery charges to have it delivered back home.
hmm when was the last time you went on a bus - at least 25% of them are all electric now. im sure the bus co would bend over backwards to buy more knowing their passenger numbers could double or treble.
