What happens when you’re on a long distance trip with your EV and you misjudge the distance to the next charging station and you run out of electricity?

“What happens when you’re on a long distance trip with your EV and you misjudge the distance to the next charging station and you run out of electricity?”

Interesting story about that... I went to open my repair shop business one morning and found a kid with his EV and adapter plugged into one of my outside outlets on the store front. I busted him stealing power and threatened to call the cops.

He pleaded with me not to and apologized, said he had no choice because he could not make it to the next town. After talking with him he confessed he had been stealing power from the outside outlets of fast food stores and motels all the way across the US on his coast to coast trip.

I thought to myself, “Great... This EV concept has now created a whole new category of criminal theft”.
