How suitable is an electric car for local short distance travel?
Electric batteries do not like top up short distance charging.
Neither do they like sitting in a car parked outside on a freezing night, as this will damage the battery.
So that rules out an electric car for short distance town shopping which is why we see so few of them if any on the roads.
Someone please tell the advertisers to stop trying to promote these cars unless they come clean and tell the truth.
