the truth about electric cars
In the space of a 3 mile drive there were 2 disabled EVs in the road 1 a 2025 big jag suv and the other some sort of BYD. External temps are 1.5 degrees so I'm assuming the drivers had been caught out by the drastic range reduction in cold weather, the Jag was being assisted by a "Roadvolt" van as I passed it on the return trip. Hope they get sorted before it gets and colder / dark
