The people of Wyoming need to buy their J6 queen, Lizzie Boredom one of these to get around in between her J6 shows.
he will freeze to death this winter anyway
Sounds like there’s a major geography problem in there.
Cheyenne to Casper is not the major trip that Colo. to Cody is.
He probably turned the vent fan on and killed the range
Heating / defrosting takes a lot of juice on the models with resistance heat.
Some Leafs have heat pumps but many don’t. You need to order the cold weather package to get the heat pump.
That’s 15 hours of this guy’s life he will never get back.
But now he’s “famous” on the internet.
Can’t put a value on that, LOL.
What kinda mileage did he get?
And all of this was during warm weather.
Winter will be fun.
Did his EV have the high output Maytag, or the high torque Whirlpool motor?
Well his first mistake was driving a Leaf. They have very low range and the battery doesn’t have a cooling system so it can’t fast charge. His second mistake was going to Wyoming. There are a lot of places where it’s 100 miles to the next town. You could do it in a longer range EV but you would still need to plan your stops carefully.
I’ve thought about buying the grandkids a used Leaf to drive to high school (8 mile round trip). But the current energy “crisis” has pushed up the prices way too high.
EV = coal-fired Edsel vehicle
It’s a lot easier for the government to keep tabs on people if they can’t travel far.
He needs a trailer hitch so he can tow a generator whenever he wants to go anywhere, like a guy I read about last week.
New England? That’s a shame.
What a dummy.
Don’t take an EV on a trip without adequate range or charging stations.
Especially an underpowered, short range Leaf.
Idiotic.
EV’s are commuter cars, period.
