OK Who ran out of electrons

Is it an offence to run out of charge/fuel ?

Only in an aircraft

Luckily, if we see another EV with a flat battery on the side of the road then the new MG ZS EV provides V2L allowing an emergency charge of the flat battery in the other car using a granny cable and V2L adapter

It's still quite a bit of time sat there now 2 cars causing obstruction ?

I read the comments from all the people who have clearly never made a mistake in their lives, nor understand that sometimes EV charge points don't work and these things happen.

I had to stop reading, it just wound me up, Twitter keyboard warriors!

40 meters of driving would take an hour to put on via V2L

Is it not possible to get the car into "neutral" and push it the last 40 meters.

In 2018, the Highways Department reported that 1,500 vehicles ran out of fuel on the motorway network. Each one of these would be looking at expensive recovery fees, a fine, and 3 point on their license. I couldn't find ANY reports of an EV running out of electrons on the motorway.

Was it 40 metres only? I assumed 40 miles, and I wondered where the incident was that didn’t have any charging facilities nearby!!

In 2018 there were only 6 EVs on the road at any one time

Seeing how anxious I get when I get down to 50 miles left on the GOM, I somehow don't think this will happen to me.

Not to mention the car keeps "screaming" at you to "Recharge as soon as possible"

I have had mine down to 8% and it started when i got below 20%, warning me that the battery was VERY low, and to consider recharging.

I was even using the navi, and it was set to a specific charger well within range. A little bit of intelligence in the system would have put 2 and 2 together and said "Ok, he is going there, there is range to get there, maybe i should stop the insistent warnings over and over"
