Re: Stupid questions about motorised conveyances
If you can't push it how would you bump start it if the motor sticks?
Re: Stupid questions about motorised conveyances
They do, and they also have towing dollies that allow them to be towed by lifting the wheels off the ground (rather than using a flatbed)

I’m not sure why people think that they’ll suddenly run out of charge in stupid places - do people really run out of petrol/diesel just around a blind bend?

Re: Stupid questions about motorised conveyances
Yes, women do in my experience. Along with leaving headlights on, running on a flat tyre etc.

Yep, trying to get to the next petrol station when the low fuel light has been glowing for ages.Kiltox wrote: ↑Mon Dec 06, 2021 5:19 pm

Re: Stupid questions about motorised conveyances
Well in that case the prudent electric car buyer should consider slipping one of these in the boot. You hardly know they're running.Kiltox wrote: ↑Mon Dec 06, 2021 5:19 pm

This will become a common sight as more and more people buy electric cars as vanity objects but have nowhere to charge them.
Check out the prices

Re: Stupid questions about motorised conveyances
It'd be cheaper to get a chauffered limo.
Kiltox is obviously a pretty organised bloke but I suspect a lot of the buyers aren't, it being a boasting point like a new kitchen. As you say that looks like a sure fire money spinner, especially when hubby is at work and gets a call that the car won't start and the dashboard is lit up.

No, it won’t. It’s clearly the brain child of a mentalist with some inheritance to spare (or similar).Jazoli wrote: ↑Mon Dec 06, 2021 6:18 pm https://www.flashcharge.uk/

All it will achieve is fuelling the anti-EV rhetoric of those who have never driven one. Even their publicity stunt of hanging around Gloucester services when it’s busy only shows that Gridserve need to expand their capacity there for the fuckwits who can’t go a mile off the motorway to another charger.
It’d be like the AA offering to bring you a can of fuel for £6 a litre if you run out with a minimum quantity of half a tank rather than just pouring a litre in to get you to the next garage.

Re: Stupid questions about motorised conveyances
Over here, any form of towing is illegal. Breakdown in any vehicle, then it will be a flat bed to recover you home or to a garage.
And as breakdown recovery is included in your vehicle insurance, its not a problem.
