Snow, Traffic Jams and Electric Cars!!!!
Now I ask you, have you ever thought about this. Are we missing something?
Can we show a little forethought and practicality? Please? Has anyone thought about it? If all cars were electric and were caught up in a three hour traffic jam, most would have dead batteries! Then what?
Not to mention that there is virtually no heating in an electric vehicle. And if you get stuck on the road all night, no battery, no heating, no lights!!! You could try calling 911 to bring women and children to safety, but the responder cannot even get to you since the road is blocked by "dead" cars!!! And when the roads finally become unblocked no one can move! How do you charge the thousands of cars whose batteries ran down while caught in the traffic jam?
Same problem (but without the cold) can occur during summer vacation trips when there are miles of traffic jams around popular destinations. The car's motor may not be drawing power when one is standing still, but the air conditioning, entertainment system and lights are. Extended delays may cause cars to run out of "fuel" and contribute to the traffic blockage.
But nobody talks about that, of course, ever wonder why?
Again, I’m just thinking outside the box on this subject, but would recommend you don’t accept what they tell you, investigate and ask questions, you will be surprised how much you will learn or at the very least cause you to ponder about the subject matter!
I was sent this just thought I would share it.

Excellent information in my opinion electric cars will be a disaster

I'm wondering why, if the diesel-electric train engine is both powerful and efficient (and they are); ¿Why doesn't some automobile manufacturer, put out a "diesel-electric automobile"? {&/or pickup truck, etc.}

By that time we won’t have a choice. And our gas vehicle’s will have been confiscated...🐟on
Pondered.
And now I'm gonna have to go check the chicken house.....lots of old hens clucking, it seems.
Then I can get back to making harness and buggy whips and figuring out what to do with all these cases of blank cassette tapes.

I think they need to make methane gas powered cars. All of us “old farts” would never be out of fuel!
Not sold on the idea, so not in the market.

The people that have them, seem to like them, but I like my gas guzzler too. I'm too old to change horses.

Obviously they haven't been in a going to run down the battery situation yet.
Good one Oz, might be a good time to develop the pop up sail from the sunroof because there sure will be a lot of wind coming from all those fuming stranded people.
How about a sunroof that doubles as a solar panel?

I’ve never thought about that but it makes sense. I hope to be long gone before electric cars are all there is but it’s gonna be a while. Most people will just be stranded at home because they won’t be able to afford an electric vehicle anyway. I think getting stuck in a traffic jam with a dead car is not gonna compare to what the rest of the world can’t produce anymore.

Bottle that from the cows with the lips that claim that is the problem and fuel the bridge to Hawaii.
