We drove #electriccar to Paris recently and back, via Dieppe - no worries.
Last December I drove to Berlin and back. Again, each drive took about 10 hours with couple of stops - no problems.
Stop believing nonsense in the media. It's a moaning of either corrupt people or let's just say - less gifted in the upstairs apartment - who think their privilidges is just a norm. #climate #ElectricVehicles #climateaction
My personal experience with EVs involves being stranded in the middle of nowhere as charge ran out way, way before we got to the range we were supposed to get, without a charging station anywhere nearby.
And the roadside assistance that was supposed to arrive in 90 minutes took five hours to actually show up.
I'm glad you had problem free experiences, but there are definitely a lot of people out there who personally experienced huge problems.
@volkris that's unfortunate, but the car gives you updates and tells you well in advance that you need charging. So I'm afraid it's always down to driver.
Except.... it didn't.
@volkris I seriously doubt it, honestly. You have to be a very distracted as a driver to miss it - or just plan to fail.
What kinda car was it?
Believe it or not, sometimes cars malfunction, and the complexity of a modern #EV system vs a dumb measurement of gas in the tank does introduce so many new failure modes.
So, I don't particularly care whether you doubt or not. No skin off my back either way.
It is funny, though, that you're telling people to stop believing nonsense in the media, and now it sounds like you're telling people to also ignore the nonsense that they experienced for themselves.
That's real crisis of faith territory at that point.
Yes, #ElectricVehicles can break too.
@volkris.
Cars do fail. There are very very very very very very very very small amount of cars that just fail. Not just electric. If that was the case - you didn't ran out of charge, there was a fault in the vehicle. That's a different thing.
But, EVs don't just magically run out of charge.
I do realise that humans have a very hard time to admit their mistakes. Good news is - it is something you can learn..
Wow, so just some feedback, realize that the way you're posting, you seriously come across as having something of a zealot affection for electric vehicles for some reason.
I don't know what your intentions are, but it's offputting and likely running counter to what you want to accomplish.
@volkris I asked you simple questions, and your story just gets murkier and murkier..
