Home charge for your Land Rover. Is this a direct debit scheme so JRR can empty your bank account regularly without waiting for you to breakdown? 
Charge master.

Have you inadvertently bought an electric P38 that needs charging each night?

Just had a quick look. Says you can charge your hybrid land rover overnight and enjoy a pollution free 41 mile commute. Bugger that what a bloody waste of time electric cars are. You could possibly go from Glasgow to Cornwall on holiday with all the family and take less than seven days each way pollution free. What a bloody joke.

I've already got one, if I dont leave the maintenance charger on while I'm away it flattens itself..

Fill it with fuel and lend it someone whilst you are away that should sort the battery drain out.

At what the motorway services will charge you for use of their electricity it would be cheaper to fly first class.

You no it not only that there Mabey 3 or 4 charge points so u may even have the pleasure of an extra wait for one to become available with the kids moaning about they want to go sounds like a great start to a little break

I wouldn't necessarily have a problem with a little leccy car for pottering around in, as long as it's dirt cheap so I can get a 4.2 V8 for the weekends
The problem with little leccy cars is they cost WAY too much

They cost about £7000. How long does a mobile phone battery last? 5 years? 7? So a £1k a year maintenance on batteries alone - unless you get shot. The cost in CO2 of mining, purifying and shipping to make the batteries and then return them to the car manufacturing country and then to where the car is sold must be significant, I'd have thought.
