junk you stupid bitch!

@eurohim Many petrol and diesel engine cars carry a back up tank, pretty much all trucks have them, nothing wrong with having an addition battery pack that only can be used in case of total power failure. the battery pack can be the weight of a single passenger. and there are many cars that run on different types of fuel like LPG, it still keeps petrol as a back up.

@SuicidalLooney "Obviously you calculate your trip and amount of fuel/electric you have" Stuff happens and it isn't terribly uncommon for people to run out of gas accidentally for a number of reasons and that chance is increased when home is the only play you can "fill up." Battery packs huh? That's going to add a lot of weight to a car. Maybe they can have a backup petro/diesel generator built in just in case or as an option.

@eurohim That's like asking what if you run out of petrol in a petrol engine car. Obviously you calculate your trip and amount of fuel/electric you have, but if you did run out of juice there are booster/back up battery packs you can buy, works on even petrol engine cars to jump start them

[eurohim]

With these electric cars I want to know what happens if you run out of juice when you're out and about? Tow?

What's tragic is that the United Kingdom can raise a Black girl this nice, in America there are millions of them blocking your walkway calling you names.
