EV Boost Mobile Charging System | Innovation | RAC
We developed the first lightweight, mobile electric vehicle charger which means our vans can give you a 10-mile charge to help you get to the next charge point.

But surely they will be made so they clip in and lock to the EV or charge from inside the boot. Which can be locked.Aye, that'll grow legs as soon as the Owner's back's turned. No mention of price on the website either.
Maybe it'll have a built-in Tracker?

The Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV is like that. Small engine is just a battery charger
everything else is EV drive train

The Outlander PHEV engine can do more than just charge the battery, it can connect directly to the front wheels as well in parallel mode.

I didn’t know that, apparently it kicks in at high speed, something I’ve not tried

Doesn't look like that from the website. Do any EVs even have internal charging charge sockets? That'd surely mean leaving the boot/tailgate open if using a public charge station.
My point was they will cost peanuts and will eventually be fitted in all EV's when their use becomes obvious.

Why not just fit a reserve battery as standard?
Because IMHO many many people especially those in a terrace house who will not have access to charging points.
You could carry it in and charge it and go to a pub while you fully charge it to get home etc etc.

You mean like me …..
Those are the ones already screwed over, I mean a reserve like you used to have on bikes … enough to get you out of the crap, maybe limited to 15mph or some nonsense and all the toys turn off to discourage regular use

That’s a good point. Actually brings back memories …. I had several bikes with reserves (I’m pretty sure it wasn’t on later ones ??) but I do remember my Kwaka F7 where the reserve went about 5 miles …. Found that out the hard way.
On motorcycles, is a lot more difficult to fit reserves with in tank EFI pumps. 99% of petrol/diesel cars don't have reserves, though a lot of newer ones tell you when you have only 50 or so miles left, as will electric when their batteries get low, so not much advantage in having to press a button to continue on your way.
tesla's can do this (or just some of them?) - saw a youtube video of someone doing it, charging his mates car after mate flew out of country pre-covid, got stuck out there and had left car in a multistory car park
As I wrote before, if it beeps at you and tells you how many miles you have left when it gets to under 50 and you don't take notice, are you going to take notice if it stops, possibly in a dangerous position, and you have to re-start? Or will you press on hoping to reach a charger.

thats why it needs to reduce performance and turn off all non essential systems... once you loose heating/aircon, radio, entertainment, and speed is reduced ..... there will always be idiots though

yes EVs still not as good as ICE in my opinion wait till winter cold to see how much range is reduced
