True..My neighbour has ordered an electric car ( Dacia Spring ), apart from the obvious drawback that it's range is at best 250km ( with nothing switched on such as lights, heater etc , windscreen wipers etc ) he paid for it 6 months ago, it is stuck at the docks at Marseille , ( 1300 kms from us ) no car transport truck drivers available to deliver it.Big shortage of HGV drivers in France. I volunteered to "temp",( I have an HGV licence ) but nope, being a self employed HGV Car transporter truck driver isn't on. He told me that when it finally arrives, he'll have to be careful not to run out of battery because he might be somewhere where there is not a charging station. But that he is not overly concerned as he could do what he usually does if he runs out of diesel in his VW caravel, he phones me and I take him a can of diesel. I pointed out that I can't take him a can of leccy, he said "what about jump leads", and if not "you could always give me a tow"..I decided that the "here is why neither of those options is on the table any more" can wait until he takes delivery, then I can explain how he needs to buy me a low loader with ramps and a winch. Or be prepared for some very "spendy" breakdown call out charges from "leccy car rescue companies" on his insurance.
Didn't want a hybrid.
