"Snowdrifts trapped 3,000 cars and 500 trucks along eight miles of Rte. 128 alone. Fourteen people died of carbon monoxide poisoning while sitting in their snowbound vehicles. In New England's cities, the 1978 blizzard stranded thousands more cars that took days to dig out."

Just imagine what the toll would have been if they had been electric cars...

I don’t think 14 people would have died of carbon monoxide poisoning if they were trapped in electric cars. If running a car stalled in deep snow it is important to dig out the tail pipe from time to time. Also, always carry blankets in the winter and water in the summer.
