In the US, you can get magnesium road flares. IIRC, some places in Europe don't permit them due to fire risk, but in the States, I can get them even in California (which is probably about the most fire-conscious state out there).
You're entitled to use electric flares if you want, but I will use the chemical ones.
First, I would point out that my comment is in response to your comment pointing out that electric flares may-or-may-not have a charged battery.
Second, magnesium flares have much-better visibility.
As for life, you can get longer ones, and use as many as you want; I carry three extended-size ones.
I also have a flasher on something like a 400 Wh, large lithium battery that I keep in the car, but I'm not going to rely on that to have someone not slam into me in the fog.
Right. For which visibility is important.
Yup. Which people proceed to slam into in those many-car pileups in the fog when they can't see far-enough away that something is wrong despite people having their hazard blinkers on, and nicely illustrates why you would want to have magnesium flares.
