They have no range to speak of and are not that cheap to recharge either from what I've read recently
The range figures bandied around are a disgrace. As you say the distance on a full charge is often quoted but what they never tell you is that is only in
perfect conditions. If you are driving on a
cold winter night in
rain with the
radio and heater on you will be lucky to get
half of the quoted distance.
Then how would you feel if the battery just died on you on an unclassified road in the middle of the Yorkshire moors
Walking ten miles in the rain on a winter night is not what I would call amusing. You couldn't call the RAC as there would likely be
no mobile phone coverage.
