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
That’s 15 hours of this guy’s life he will never get back.
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.
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.
What a dummy.
Donât take an EV on a trip without adequate range or charging stations.
Especially an underpowered, short range Leaf.
Idiotic.
EVâs are commuter cars, period.
“On The Trail: Electric Vehicle Advice and Anxiety”
Book title should have been:
“On the Trail: Electric Vehicle Advice and Insanity”
He’s driving a fricking Nissan Leaf. That thing has the range of your average golf cart.
I wonder how long it would take him in January with battery capacity reduced by cold and electric heat needed to prevent the windows from icing over on the inside.
EVs are such a wonderful idea. I wonder what sort of pink smoke the FR EV fanboys will blow up peoplesâ backsides about this if they even show up. âI get a thousand miles out of a charge in my magic EVâ. Etc.
EV’s are useful for “around town” trips. Basically the wife gets the EV so she can get to the grocery store, the beauty parlor and the local mall. She can plug it in when she gets home so it’s fully charged for the morning, or the husband can plug it in once he gets home in his SUV and unplug it for her in the morning and store the cable in a safe place.
I remember when my 1964 VW Bug was not operating correctly. Could not get above 40 miles per hour⊠not great on major Cali freewayâŠ. Even in the slow lane.
