Don’t forget the mess the EV’s caused on I95 in Virginia last January during the winter storm. Turns out you can’t heat those things when stranded in the cold without quickly discharging the batteries. When the storm cleared, the gas cars were stuck because they couldn’t get around all the dead EV’s.
