Another thing is, just charge the 12V battery under the hood. The newer EV's like this one (and mine, thought not an expensive Tesla) have a 12V battery to power the cabin and such very much like an ICE car. Normally it's routinely recharged from the EV's main battery (to account for the fact that an EV doesn't have an alternator to charge the 12V battery like an ICE car does). But that doesn't happen when the driver drives it to empty. So the solution is to use jumper cables or a jumpstart battery to charge the 12V battery and you can turn the EV on and take it out of gear. It's as quick and easy as jumping off an ICE battery. For this reason I keep a jumpstart battery in the EV car just like I keep jumper cables in the ICE pickup.
Correct.
Learning, teething issues.
“Normally it’s routinely recharged from the EV’s main battery (to account for the fact that an EV doesn’t have an alternator to charge the 12V battery like an ICE car does). But that doesn’t happen when the driver drives it to empty.”
Wouldn’t the 12v battery stilled be fully charged at that point and still last for many hours?
There’s been several solutions offered for these problems.
