The situation that unfolded during last January’s storm was like never before. There have been several times in the past that a winter storm has caused tractor trailers to jackknife and close a major interstate, stranding thousands of vehicles overnight in the cold. The difference this time is that many of the vehicles stranded were EV’s. Trying to heat the stranded EV’s overnight rapidly drained their power sources. When they finally attempted to open the road it became close to impossible because it was littered and clogged up with dead EV’s. The stranded internal combustion engine vehicles still had plenty of fuel, but had to wait hours for the road blocking EV’s to be removed from the highway. Add that to the list of several reasons to not get one of those things.
