[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a 17yo car that runs great, and required nothing but routine maintenance. I wanted a Prius when I bought that car, but my car at the time had died and the wait for a Prius was over 6mos. I don’t know how much longer my current car will last. (Hopefully, another few years, bc I love it!) I recently needed a tow bc the battery died, and the tow truck driver said I was lucky not to have an EV. He said you can’t put them in neutral without juice, and require a truck with a crane to lift and tow them. Currently, there aren’t as many trucks like that out there. He also said people routinely underestimate how much charge they have left or how much they need to go from point a to b. When the battery dies the car stops and you can’t coast to the shoulder.

Anyone personally have these problems with their EV? Why haven’t engineers designed them to have a neutral state so they can be rolled?[/quote]

Really? No one has experience with this? Do we just have a plethora of charging stations that make this NBD? Which is strange given what the tow truck driver was telling me.[/quote]
