Well I hate to tell you but we’re all going to be driving them in less than a generation.

ICE vehicles never get towed...ever. Amazing machines that never ever breakdown for any reason. Incredible vehicles. I'm just glad you got to witness an EV on a tow truck for the FIRST TIME in your life. How long have they been around now? Must have been like seeing a unicorn. Did you get a pic to show your buds?

False

When the power grid crashes from people charging their cars this fad will end

I do hope some sort of fuel cell technology emerges with fast charging and batteries that arent full of toxic shite

If you don't run out of gas ever, why would you worry about running out of battery? Feels like you either outed yourself as being terribly irresponsible or you didn't fully think this through.

Because EV charging stations arent as common as gas stations. Particularly super chargers

Because no one ever ran out of gas... the cool thing is that you can flat tow an ev and recharge it

Electrical outlets are very common.

I'd rather charge off of 15/20 amps than call a tow truck.

I’m excited for the forced charging of my EV car at my house in the future with no help on the electric bill other then out my own pocket

But you can just bring a gas can and put gas in an ICE vehicle where you can drive to a pump.

You can't just bring a charging station to an EV...

Maybe, I should rush to the patent office with this idea of sharing your charge instead of a jumpstart.

Let’s say you drive your EV down to 0 miles. Another EV pulls up with a 90% capacity and quickly transfers 5 or 10% of the charge to the other vehicle so the other car can make it to a regular charger.

Any patent attorney’s willing to go half on this and we sue the pants off Elon when he steals it?

I don't like the thought if not being comfortable more than 100 miles from home because you have to save enough juice to get back.
