"Transport for London (TfL) said
....
when the bus undertakes long, non-stopping motorway
* * * * *journeys, such as its journey to Bedfordshire this morning, it
* * * * *can lose charge and the driver is briefed to pull to the side of
* * * * *the road to allow the battery to recharge."

But you won't know that a vehicle is unable to drive from London to
Luton on a motorway until................................oh yes you
attempt to drive it from London to Luton on a motorway.

It sounds like TfL had an idea it would run out of battery; I wonder if
it has a "miles to empty" display [for the battery] like my ten year old
petrol car does [for the petrol]?

Let's face it vehicles break down everyday on motorways for one reason
or another, hardly a big deal is it?

Indeed, especially as this would seem to be an empty fuel tank rather
than anything more sinister.
