[Ono of my pet hates is the use of enormity where very large in meant, as in "You wouldn't believe the enormity of his charitable donations" (just look it up if you don't know what it really means....)]

Well done Andy on getting the thread back on track. The real  benefit of getting drivers out of their cars in service areas is ensuring they get a rest from driving. On long journeys this is important and too few people take appropriate rests (and I can be as guilty as anyone on this). However it will be some time before electric vehicles are used for long journeys of the sort that need these breaks.
