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.
Well I don't think it's really interesting to specify, but it was a rental car and off the top of my head I don't remember what model it was. I want to say it was a Chevy? But I honestly don't remember.
When we started off the range was something like 600 mi but it made only something like 50 miles before it died.
So like I was saying, seriously a big malfunction.
@volkris @hornblower can everyone smell this ?
It’s like we were fed a lot of bull crap .
Seriously , stop - you’re embarrassing yourself with this story .
It wasn’t an ev was it? It was a hybrid .
*sigh* I took the time to look it up. It was a Chevy Bolt, an EV, that went into limp mode from a full charge in around 50 miles.
I don't remember exactly which out of the way country gas station we had to leave it at, or I'd be able to get you exact mileage, but me glancing at a map, it was around 50 miles.
@volkris @takeitev That sucks, but don't let it sour you on EV driving, that is not at all typical. And I hope the rental agency made it right.
