“If an Electric Car’s battery goes dead can you jump start it from another Electric Car?”
Not in the sense that a gasoline engine can be jumped. The jump only provides enought energy to get the gasoline engine started. Once it’s started, it runs on gasoline.
An electric car runs on the energy stored in it’s on board battery. The reason it won’t start is the battery is completely discharged, ie, no energy.
I guess you could look at the charging station as some sort of a jump start but you’ve got to remained hooked to the station for a long enough time to recharge the battery.
If it’s a hybrid, does that dead battery also run the conventional electric functions that regular cars take care of? Why can’t a hybrid start from the gas function if the battery is dead?
