The electric vehicle of an unfortunate Washington, DC, tourist ran out of battery in the middle of a remote West Virginia road on Friday. Thankfully, a few unlikely good Samaritans were nearby to rescue the stranded traveler.

And the guy has to plug it in at the guard shack to charge it. Ha ha ha ha
I wonder if all those coal miners are taking solar panel builder classes at night.
Corridor H/US48 at Davis? Poor planning. He passed at least 4 EV chargers in Moorefield on the way there.
No one ever accused ev buyers of excess intelligence.
At least the clueless driver got to meet the people who are providing the actual fuel for his “electric” car.
I guess he wasn’t as smart as she was
Thanks for the WSJ link. Wow. The two ladies travelled 2,000 miles, saved $100 on gas, and waited an average of one hour for each charge.
At least it wasn’t deepest, darkest Newark.
I saw this earlier in the day. Made me laugh my head off.
LOL!! You just CAN’T make this up...
At least the dog is enjoying the ride
it was soon realized that the vehicle could not be moved by a tow truck since the bottom of the car was all plastic with nothing to hook onto.
Really?
Seems like piss-poor design, no matter the energy source.
One of those genius Washington people who can’t figure out how much juice is left in his car.
Electric vehicles do not produce energy. They only store it. Opposed to that is an internal combustion engine, which does produce energy.
A couple of months ago I was on a road trip visiting relatives in Pennsylvania (I live in Colorado - quite a road trip), and I also had a meeting I had to attend in New York at the WTC. So I decided to drive to Penn Station in Newark and take the PATH train to the WTC.
Going in to Penn Station in the morning was OK, but when I left that evening driving through the neighborhoods surrounding it, I was just praying that the car didn’t break down. It was like something right out of a movie. I grew up in Illinois and saw the worst of Chicago, and we also used to visit St. Louis frequently, so I knew all about the areas to avoid there, worst of which is East St.Louis, but that drive through Newark triggered gut instincts that I hadn’t felt since the last time I had to drive through the heart of Oakland.
