The manufacturers are quick to quote range on Batteries –ie: 2-300miles ( Nissan Leaf) But they dont mention Range on a cold winters night with the Head lights/fogs on , the CD player blaring & the heater/climate fan on full tilt & the electric power steering in constant use.tornado64 mentioned , deisel engined recovery truck, out in the middle of nowhere—yep thats going to happen & just when you need to recharge your mobile through the lighter socket!!

Another very pointy thing—Delta Dart!!
I agree Tangmere–the poor bloke only asked for some help!! He didnt need shooting down in flames !!
Well after all that Guff !! I think the producer has given up, gone home & lost the will to live !!
Probably given up on Bomber Command & going to make a documentary on ” The lesser spotted snotgobbler”
UMMM a kind of super hybrid!! You are still lugging around a petrol engine to re-charge batteries ( Range 30-50 miles on batt only) Not all that green , carbon footptint during manufacture, small carbon footprint during working life & even bigger pollution to dipose of ( Batteries + Engine + Electric motor + Bodywork ) No doubt the engine will break down some time during its life , therefore you will need to revert to Mains power along with its associated polution. Batteries will probably last about 2-3yrs & need relacing at about £10.000 ( The batteries may be hired/leased on an annual basis ) more cost . Got to be a lot cheaper for main stream motoring , price is way over the top . Its not going to save the world —& I dont think Greenpeace will be waving any flags!!
