A solar panel would be a good option for solving this issue.

Amazing what stuff you can find doing a search for mower repair.
Kind of caught me off guard.

Thanks for posting.

1) Does the car remind you when you get home to plug in? (Has smart GPS to enable this)
2) Can you set a number of locations as home for charging reminder (ie home , work, car park etc)
3) Does the car remind you, or prevent you from driving whilst plugged in? I get an interesting mental picture of that one when you run out of cable length – LOL

Just a thought as I think my wife would remember to put the car on charge after she runs out of gas!!
