I know I've mentioned it before but my memory is failing.

There are a whole range of issue coming around for electric cars to become universal mass use. Especially if the deadline is in 10 years. The ability to recharge en mass is one of the biggest.
For us, towing is a major issue. There are virtual no cars that are able to tow and the few that can are the most expensive, often have quite low tow weight capacity but the big issue is their driving distance drops from 250 miles to 60 or 70.
This e-caravan dual power idea is very innovative, but you introduce the issue of have things to charge during your journey, the caravan will need it’s own battery and motor capable of 70 miles an hour. The battery which is likely to be huge like an electric car battery which makes up 2 thirds of an electric car price and weight means adding £20k to the price of a caravan and trebling the weight? I can see new MOT, licensing, tow bar and law changes required too.
Great innovative idea, but a long way off mass market. I am all for electric cars - it’s important for our future, but wish I could afford one and that they had solved the towing issue, but governments just stating no petrol or diesel cars will be sold in 10 years before any infrastructure has even been started is crazy never mind the fact most people cannot afford them.

All sorted. The simple solution is always the best
