Same thing you do when your gas car is empty.

No, E distro is not the same as liquid fuel distro. Posting these questions again so folks don’t have to go back:

How does it work out for EVs when they are stranded on highways during blizzards or ice storms, and the heating function eats up the battery? Or just any gridlock in very cold weather? It sucks.

Now, imagine all 100 or more stuck cars are EVs, and their passengers can’t share the heat inside the ICE cars around them, as happened this winter in Virginia on I-95.

Or imagine future gridlock of mostly EVs during a hurricane evacuation etc, when they run out en masse and can’t be recharged. ICE cars can be rapidly refueled from Jerry cans. How do you get electricity to 100s of stuck EVs in the middle of miles of gridlock? This is not hypothetical, it happened in VA this winter and it was a problem with only 2% EVs.

What happens when it’s 90% EVs?
Sincere question.
