Completely not a waste of time. Roads will be safer, there will be no need for everyone to own a car, and mass transit will become the norm as work moves to the cities. However, this will not become the norm for another 30 years or more in my opinion.

Electric cars will improve on ranges. The new Tesla has a 200kw battery that has a range of 650 miles. At 12p a kwh, that will cost about £24 to charge (650 miles for £24? My weekly commute would be about £11 a week instead of the current £30).

I think my current car has a good 5-6 years left in it, at that point I am fully expecting buying an electric car (the biggest issue for me at the moment is price rather than range).
