So, all this is for ICE cars. If you have one of those electric cars
and you are out of juice, at the side of the road, what do they do?
You can't just jump start it, you have to put enough charge it it
to get it somewhere to plug in. So, what do they do? Like if you
have such a car and call AAA what do they do? I expect it's tow you
to someplace to plug in.



You pull out the portable wind generator and solar cell and wait for the
sun to come out or the wind to blow. Just one of the green solutions of
AOC.


Those electric cars may be ok for those that never get out of the city
and only go 10 or 20 miles at a time. Now if they ever get them where
you can recharge them at many places like all the gas service stations
and pumps and in the time it takes to gas up an ICE car they may have
something for me. The battery better last 10 years or more also.

Yes, they would be fine for a car that you use mostly
for commuting to work each day that's within range,

Not if you do that over any distance in the
depths of winter or the peak of summer.

a second car that you use around the area you live in, etc.

Again, depends on the weather and distance.

The serious problem is that they are not practical
for trips that are at or beyond the range limit.

Or in the depths of winder or the peak of summer in many places either.

Even more limited if you're coming back
the same day and have to do it roundtrip.
Hybrids don't have that problem.
