Now if you're working VERY local, that's not an issue. What happens if you're diverted on the way home though? Or on freezing nights where batteries are less efficient? Or if you're stuck in traffic but still need to use the lights (as is law)?
I feel electricity powered commercial vehicles have got to come a LONG way before they can be used properly
