Why do people buy these batteries on wheels, just don't get it. Is is reminiscent of people buying the early mobile phones, battery life 10 minutes, and microwave radiation enough to cook a full English breakfast, and the obligatory brick size, making a statement I suppose!.

Look the technology is primitive, they are unreliable, too expensive, and the infrastructure is just not there and when they go wrong!!!, well do you want me to draw you pictures.

So why are these selling so well?, I suppose somebody needs to be an experimental victim. If and when the price is right, i.e. cheap, the reliability improves i.e. they don't catch fire whilst they are being charged, and the range increases by a factor of 10, then, maybe I might consider one, or I will be too old to drive myself!.
