Electric vehicle owners in the Chicago area have not been able to charge their overpriced method of transportation in the bitter cold this week, leaving scenes of dead electric cars littered across public charging stations.
It turns out buying a worthless car to virtue-signal for the environment has unintended consequences.
Fox Chicago reported Monday the charging stations have turned into electric car graveyards over the past two days as temperatures in the Windy City and its suburbs have dipped to the negative double digits.
One man, Tyler Beard, to the outlet he had been trying to recharge his Tesla at an Oak Brook Tesla supercharging station since Sunday afternoon.
Nothing. No juice. Still on zero percent. And this is like three hours being out here after being out here three hours yesterday.
But Beard was just one of dozens of Tesla owners trying and failing to power up their vehicles at this same Oak Brook charging station. Fox 32 Chicago noted the scene was reminiscent of long lines and abandoned cars at several other charging stations around the Chicago area.
Chalis Mizelle told the outlet she was forced to ditch her car and get a ride from a friend when it would not charge.
“This is crazy, it’s a disaster. Seriously,” she said.

Discharged batts tend to freeze and crack. Get out your checkbook for $20 thousand to replace batts.
Environmentalists are Mental and never ever had a good idea ,LOL
Ping. Another one.
Ever seen an EV uber?......me either
Do you get extra Virtue points for replacing the battery?
Enjoy your virtue signaling. I’ll try not to laugh too much over this.
Rumor has it Branding will make a speech tonight praising all those people stuck at the chargers for their green actions by saving all that electricity. The rumor goes on to say they will be awarded a special Medal of Freedom Award.
It will have a person bent over getting kicked in the ass by the EPA and DOT officials.
Fourth time? Fifth time?
Cold and batteries don’t mix well. Any savvy consumer would note and take that into account regarding EVs. Relying solely on an EV can lead to difficulties as in this case.
I just keep my gas full and my car starts right up. I must have a good battery.
*** checkbook for $20 thousand to replace batts. ***
And just where are they going to chuck the haz-batts?
At least fifth time.
I am sure the batteries will work in tanks and planes. Just stop hating. /s
Just like the entire Democrat Party! But I'm guessing she's been voting for it for years. And will probably continue to.
Hmmm. If so how they going to outfit those electric airplanes?
If you own an EV, you better have a garage. Ideally, one separate from the house in case the car catches fire.
Is Klaus Schwab and his World Enslavement Forum using EVs in Davos , if they are you can bet they’re kept inside 99% of the time ,LOL
