my favorite drawback to EVs is when major catastrophes suddenly strike and tens or hundreds of thousands need to immediately evacuate, all pretty much in the same direction and the same time, causing immediate gridlock ... a chain reaction of dead batteries ensues, with no possible cure, and soon tens or hundreds of thousands of dead EVs are pretty much permanently stalled, with no chance of being removed for several weeks ... in the mean time, their passengers are doomed as the catastrophe catches up with them and they run out of water, food and either heat or cooling, and no way to be removed from the stall-zone ...

I know that Teslas used to into “Brick Mode” when the battery died, with the wheels locking up. Not sure if they still do that, but in that mode, you can’t even push them out of the way.
