Why didn’t they have a spare bucket of electricity in the car?

Why nobody wants an electric clown car except wealthy, ignorant Leftists.

If someone were to invent a vehicle that ran on stupidity, we could round up Lefties and have an inexhaustible supply.

It’s called ‘BRICKING the motor’. YOu CANNOT charge an EV if it has been fully discharged (driven til it stops). I guess the idiot didn’t know that.

“All of a sudden, they saw a little flatbed tow truck with a car on it."

Can a little flatbed actually carry one of those overweight monsters?

So, Sean Penn is a hero because he gave a friend a push ?

Doesn’t take much these days.

Happy to hear this though, as it’ll alert a few more potential EV suckers.

“ Malkin’s electric car ran out of juice and needed a recharge, so he called a tow truck to get him to a charging station in Cabazon, California... Unfortunately, he ran into even more trouble when it failed to charge properly and he was officially stranded.”

...was told the car may not accept the charge if the battery was completely drained.

Should be in the owner's manual.

" The only other option was to move the vehicle to a different type of charger, which was located nearby"

Does the drained battery look like a pure short circuit to the standard charger and trip a circuit breaker?

The tow truck had a diesel engine.
Plus the charging station had a diesel generator to create the electricity for the battery chargers.
