Call a tow truck because you run out of gas?? Hardly. Since it is a holiday, I’m surprised you are even posting. Shouldn’t you be leading the Wayne County Grumpy People’s Parade?
From where I come from normal people don't call a tow truck when the gas gauge is on E. We call a buddy to bring some gas to us.
Guess this proves two things - ignored member isn't normal and doesn't have any buddies that would answer the call...
If you break down on the road, what's the better option??
I'm not suprised you're posting stupidity.
I'm busy fact checking conservative idiots.
I bet you really appreciate that when you're out of gas 300 miles from home. Idiot.
Yes, 2 things. That both you and the poster you replied to are idiots.
That is why it was good thing to pass the inflation reduction act ..it gave a lot of money to help build EV stations and at the same time gave help to the oil companies so it wasnt just a one sided thing.
Wait, somebody actually said they would call a tow truck if they run out of gas?
No, they are not. A "break down" is defined as when a machine or motor vehicle ceases to function.
Break down definition: “to stop functioning because of breakage or wear.”
Nothing about running out of a fluid.

A vehicle breakdown is a MECHANICAL or ELECTRICAL failure of a motor vehicle in such a way that the underlying problem prevents the vehicle from being operated.
I'm in the automotive industry. I have yet to see running out of gas covered under warranty (unless it was to repair a broken fuel gage or sending unit).
Some people are just plain stupid and don't know when to quit doubling down on their stupidity...

Probably the reason Greed doesn’t sell more cabinets. A customer comes in and wants doors that open to the right and Greed won’t stop yelling at him that cabinet doors only open to the left.
The heart of the wise inclines to the right, but the heart of the fool to the left.
'We don’t have enough' lithium globally to meet EV targets, mining CEO says
One miner warned that domestic resources for lithium, the most critical mineral used for electric vehicle production, may not be sufficient enough to meet some U.S. climate targets.
^^^Some people familiar with automobiles and warranties don't know the definitions of words....and are idiots.
I just tell them to call their buddies and have them bring some hinges to them.
Some EVs now support vehicle to vehicle charging, so it would in theory be possible to flag down someone who's car supports that and have them give you enough to get back home.
At one point AAA had trucks with chargers to go give a charge to anyone who ran out but I think charger density got good enough here that it was easier for them to just tow you to the closest one.
Only a dumb arse would run out of gas. There are gas stations everywhere. There are charging stations not everywhere. The biggest thing about EVs as the primary type of vehicle is can our electrical grid handle all the extra pull. The cost to upgrade our grid to be in a condition to have EVs either as the primary or only type of transportation would be something that would be astronomical. In additionally how do we make electricity, I will give you 3 guesses and the first 2 don't count. Mostly by natural gas, coal, and other fossil fuels. Until some huge advance in how to generate electricity without fossil fuels not going to happen regardless of how much people would like it. CA outlawing the purchase of gasoline powered vehicles in 13 years is idiotic without some brainaic coming up with a completely new way to generate electricity. I would talk about the CA removal of new natural gas buildings and such, but that is another subject regarding the cleanest of the fossil fuels.
About 60% of renewable energy plants built in 2021 were cheaper than the cheapest fossil fuel plants. The time has run out for fossil fuels, and you’re going to see more and more extraction permits go unbid on because the companies know it. They’ll kick and scream and pump out disinformation to try and stay viable, but they’re no longer economically feasible.
