I've pushed (and towed) a few vehicles myself over the years.Coal miners pushing a dead EV to mine to charge. Looks like a DC tag. This coal mine/power plant supplies electricity to the east coast DC area. officecharging.View attachment 115824
I think there’s a big difference between an older car breaking down, and an EV running out of juice with all the driver help, navigation, and warnings they provide.I've pushed (and towed) a few vehicles myself over the years.
Sure. I think the post is showing a battery out of juice; similar to an ICE vehicle being out of gas. I could be wrong. Of course it is easier to pour in a gallon of gas than to charge an EV at the side of the road.I think there’s a big difference between an older car breaking down, and an EV running out of juice with all the driver help, navigation, and warnings they provide.
You’ve elaborated on how your Tesla tells you how many miles available, finds you an open charging station, etc.
I hope I never have to find out... But ya never know.Some EV's will charge just fine if towed by a powerful vehicle.
I'm usually not skeptical, but in this case I am somewhat. I don't see anything that suggests this is an EV. And, if it were, why push it to a coal mine? Where did this image come from? What's the back story?
Unless you're in a remote location with no gas source around ... imagine if an ICE car ran out of gas at that location. It could be more difficult to get it running again than it was to just plug in the EV.Sure. I think the post is showing a battery out of juice; similar to an ICE vehicle being out of gas.

Seeing some context makes me less skeptical although I still feel it may have been staged.That’s my guess. I don’t know for sure for, but I’d put my money on it being staged.
So an EV just happened to run out of battery at a coal mine, and a WV senator just happened to be there to document it for Facebook. Ok…
The vehicle appears to be a Kia Niro EV.
Coal miners help push tourists’ dead electric car in West Virginia
On Friday, an electric vehicle broke down along Corridor H in Tucker County on its way to a weekend getaway in Davis. Luckily, a group of local coal miners were happy to help.www.wtrf.com

How many times must this image be posted here before a new, annoying Tesla-bashing meme can be found? After x-number of times, this gets old and loses whatever humor it had.Tesla option, Range Extender. Especially important if a Tesla is going to run the Cannonball.

Shel, EV owners (like me) gotta have a sense of humor. No biggie. Teslas are only for rich California granola heads anyways, right?How many times must this image be posted here before a new, annoying Tesla-bashing meme can be found?

This might be funnier if there were a fuel truck towed behind the generator to keep it running.
It's the repetition that is annoying, not specifically the Tesla meme.Shel, EV owners (like me) gotta have a sense of humor. No biggie. Teslas are only for rich California granola heads anyways, right?
And Elon's whack, right? And he's an alien, for sure.
All good.
Can you plug 2 cars together? Drain one and charge another enough to get to a charging station?Some EV's will charge just fine if towed by a powerful vehicle.
