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.
Any source for that claim? I'm surprised something like that didn't make headlines on multiple papers.
