EV Conundrum what's a person to do?
Imagine Florida with a hurricane coming toward Miami.
1. The Governor orders an evacuation.
2. All cars head north.
3. They all need to be charged in Jacksonville.
4. How does that work?
5. Has anyone thought about this?
6. If all cars were electric vehicles (EV), and were caught up in a three-hour traffic jam with dead batteries, then what?
Not to mention that there is virtually no heating or air conditioning in an electric vehicle because of high battery consumption.
If you get stuck on the road all night, no battery, no heating, no windshield wipers, no radio, no GPS (all these drain the batteries), all you can do is try calling 911 to take the women and children to safety.
But they cannot come to help you because all roads are blocked, and they will probably require all police cars will be electric also.
When the roads become unblocked no one can move!
Their batteries are dead.
How do you charge the thousands of cars in the traffic jam?
Same problem during summer vacation departures with miles of traffic jams. There would be virtually no air conditioning in an electric vehicle. It would drain the batteries quickly.
Where is this electricity going to come from? Today's grid barely handles users' needs. Can't use nuclear, natural gas is quickly running out. Oil fired is out of the question, then where?
What will be done with billions of dead batteries, can’t bury them in the soil, can’t go to landfills.
The cart is way ahead of the horse. No thought whatsoever to handle any of the problems that batteries can cause.
Currently...In France, thousands of (EV) taxis are now stored as inoperable because the batteries are dead and to replace them would cost as much as the value of the vehicle itself!
