Looks great but with limited ability. I know Little Snoring quite well having had an aircraft maintained there for several years in the 90’s but these stringbags have little or no ability outside the local flying area. My neighbour has a top of the range battery Mercedes SUV but the published endurance falls dramatically in winter night driving with wipers,lights and heating drainage.The recharge time is abysmal compared to petrol or diesel. The other point is of course what happens to batteries end of life. In cars the vehicle is worthless by the time it needs replacement.
