Running out of battery, like running out of gas, is not the car’s fault.

Agreed. I will not buy or lease an electric car right now for a number of reasons, but this mishap is on the owner, not the car.

Must not have read the article. The car still showed a charge for several more miles.

“the electric car stopped working mid-turn even though its battery gauge showed it still had several miles of charge left”

I know it is FR policy to comment without reading the article. However, apparently the vehicle stopped when it still showed it had enough battery power left.
Hey, at least it did not start on fire and need three or four pumper tank trucks of water to put out.

Notice that the battery lost its charge even though it showed that is still had charge left.

That is the car’s fault.
