Forget to plug it in last night due to the wife yapping at me when I got home, so quickly before I get ready to go in the morning, I plug it in, hopefully to get some juice in it.
I've got an early flight so I am rushing around and then finally off I go to the airport. It's cold so I got the heater going full blast and then whoops I'm stuck in traffic inching along.
The battery gauge reads low and well I can't just stop and fill up with gas so I have to keep going.
5 miles from the airport the car dies right in the middle of the road. Now I've got miles of traffic jammed up behind me and the car is going nowhere and of course I miss my flight.
That's what's going to happen out there in the real world. Until you can zap them in a minute and have them run 300 miles on a charge, forget it.
I'd say if they are so great, buy one yourself and have fun with it. I'm not.
