Why didn’t 4-5 big guys just flip the car over to the bar-ditch?
Excellent, an analog solution to a digital problem.
I like the plow approach albeit a bazooka would be pyrotechnic.
You would THINK that the idiot running the DOT would make it a requirement that a vehicle be rollable when electronically disabled. Too busy looking for equity, I suppose.
Or, in this case, the MOT…
Tell the muzzies it burned a koran
Flagged. Your post is too sensible for this day and age.
Technology is great until it stops working and makes complete fools of the people who are using it.
Another example of something humans have created but don’t know how to control.
Has anyone asked AAA how it plans to handle millions of EVs that won’t move? Charging their batteries takes a long time and makes each service call VERY expensive. EVs are heavy thanks to the batteries, and towing them becomes a totally different thing than what it is now.
The future that the dems have planned for us consists of being stuck in your EV on a highway - you can’t walk to anywhere civilized to get warm, use the bathroom, eat, or rest. You’ll be waiting in the EV for hours in the dark and cold. And possibly die. The dems don’t mind that - too many Americans anyway.
electric cars are not ready for prime time. Maybe in 10 years.
This whole EV thing is just a means to an end, to make personal transportation unaffordable, for all but the rich.
I live in hurricane country. No way in hell will I be dependent on one of those electric toys.
Not just any engineer is the solution
I didn’t know they had a tow truck shortage on the Salisbury Plain.
What do you do with a dead horse?
“the electric car stopped working mid-turn even though its battery gauge showed it still had several miles of charge left”
I know it is FR policy to comment without reading the article. However, apparently the vehicle stopped when it still showed it had enough battery power left.
Hey, at least it did not start on fire and need three or four pumper tank trucks of water to put out.
Nine hours? No tow trucks in the UK?
See #13
Towing companies will need to have an EV charger on the truck with a long extension cord.
Pyrotechnic yes but then the fire will burn for quite a while as we have discovered with EVs.
Na, just throw a little saltwater on it.
Sound like a job for Repo Man!
