Years ago, we had a storm here that came out of nowhere; lots of kids who rode school buses didn’t get home until 10PM, and it took me on public transit 4 hours to get home about 3 miles away.
A couple of years ago people were stuck on I95 in Virginia for up to 24 hours, and those with EVs were really SOL.
I wonder how parents would feel if their kid, riding an EV bus, didn’t get home for 24 hours, freezing the whole time...
I was one of thousands stuck on 95 in Virginia. I had 1/4 tank of gas, no food and a little water. I had zero concerns about freezing to death or running out of gas.
I was heading south and planning to fill up once I got through northern Virginia and I wasn’t listening to the radio. No idea my life was about to stop for 15 hours. It was just a small adventure.
“I wonder how parents would feel if their kid, riding an EV bus, didn’t get home for 24 hours, freezing the whole time...”
This is going to happen. It is just a matter of time.
Hopefully those parents will get mad and even—and vote every single politician within one hundred miles out of office.
