Electric car range is too short, limiting their acceptance. However, most daily car trips are short enough to accommodate electric car ranges. Electric cars also have benefits like simplicity and quiet operation. Half of global food production is wasted despite hunger. Strict supermarket standards reject perfectly edible crops. City roads are congested as most commutes and business trips are short, while cars are underoccupied with single drivers comprising over half of morning trips. Increasing car occupancy could help reduce congestion.

De Bono’s Six Thinking Hats
Questions
Emotions
Bad points
judgement
Good points
judgement
Creativity
Thinking
The White Hat calls for information
known or needed.
The Red Hat signifies feelings,
hunches and intuition.
The Black Hat is judgment -- the
devil's advocate or why something
may not work.
The Yellow Hat symbolizes
brightness and optimism.
The Green Hat focuses on
creativity: the possibilities,
alternatives and new ideas.
The Blue Hat is used to manage
the thinking process.
32. Selection and Development
De Bono’s thinking grid
• Option 1 – As a group go through each of the
questions
• Option 2 – As an individual go through each of the
questions
• Option 3 – As a group, assign hat roles, and have a
discussion on each of the questions in your
selected hat mode
35. Electric car range is too short - so
the cars aren't acceptable
• Why is the range too short?
• batteries are expensive so we get the minimum amount
acceptable
• Batteries are heavy so there is a maximum amount
• How short is too short?
• How do we use cars – really?
• Is there anything good about electric cars?
• You can get home with it nearly empty. But every morning it’s full
• They are really simple
• They are really quiet
36. 50% of food production is wasted -
and people haven't enough to eat
• IMechE Food report
• Major supermarkets, in meeting consumer
expectations, will often reject entire crops of perfectly
edible fruit and vegetables at the farm because they
do not meet exacting marketing standards
• Up to 30% of the UK’s vegetable crop is never
harvested as a result of such practices
• Globally, retailers generate 1.6 million tonnes of food
waste annually in this way
37. City roads are congested - and
cars are under occupied
The Eddington Transport Study
• Transport networks support the productivity and success of urban areas and their catchments, by getting
people to work, supporting deep and productive labour markets and allowing businesses within the area to
reap the benefits of agglomeration. 55 per cent of commuter journeys are to large urban areas. 69 per cent
of business trips are less than 15 miles in length. 89 per cent of the delay caused by congestion is in urban
areas, and agglomeration effects add up to 50 per cent to the benefits of some transport schemes in
London.
• … the rising cost of congestion will waste an extra £22 billion worth of time in England alone by 2025.
Car occupancy in Scotland
• The driver was the sole occupant of the vehicle for over 70 per cent of car journeys starting before 9.30
a.m., compared with 61 per cent overall. The driver was unaccompanied in 65 per cent of car drivers'
journeys during the week, and 49 per cent at weekends.
• Average car occupancy decreased from 1.63 in 2000 to 1.57 in 2010. This is probably due to the increase
in car availability over this period.
