Owners could retain a fully-charged back up battery for such an emegency.

I don't. I recall being told diesel was a great and now I'm being penalised for what the so called experts led us to believe. I have every expectation that the same thing will happen again and that the rush to electric will wind up costing a whole lot more than we imagine.

You're (understandably) focussing on the expense; the reason for the change is to reduce pollution and save lives.
