Seriously though..........Its not a bad idea to get some information on it as it could be usefull....
When I first started work at British Aerospace the company fire brigade used electric Lister trucks on the Preston factory site. They were supposed to be fully charged overnight so that the firemen could "race" to the scene of an incident - race was a relative term seeing as they trundled along at walking pace when loaded with equipment and crew. I suspect that there will be more suitable Eco Vehicles available now-a-days.
