Exactly what happened last January between Fredericksburg and Richmond when a big winter storm closed the highway overnight on a very cold night. Hundreds of EV’s drained their batteries trying to stay warm overnight. When the road finally opened it was gridlock, clogged up with dead EV’s everywhere. It took another half day to tow them away.
