Usual half thought out ridiculous plan!!!

On a similar topic Honda have done some serious testing dragging a caravan on the back of their full electric vehicles, blowing their own trumpet on the amount of torque created and the ability to drag this ice cream tub behind it.

The question the dealer couldnt answer was......

If I buy this wonderful electric Honda at probably a £50k asking price, buy the same caravan theyve used to test this vehicle at probably another £30k, I go on my touring holiday with my caravan and it runs out of charge, where do I plug it in on my journey??

The electric charging points at all the service stations are single car bays and dont allow a vehicle towing a caravan to park to charge up.

The reality is, battery cars are a short term jump away from petrol and diesel. The charging network rollout is so far behind it's going to take far too long to get upto date.
