Had to do a 3 hour drive down to southern VT over the summer to get a tractor. Beautiful weather but there was an accident on the interstate that had traffic at a stand still for miles. From that point up until we made it to our destination it was just constant dead Teslas on the side of the road.

VT isn't really the state for electric vehicles unless you can stay in the cities such as Essex/Burlington imo.

Bullshit, quit flinging fud. EVs don't just die when they aren't moving, like an ICE would run out of gas. _Maybe_ if they had the AC cranked and were already running on electron fumes. The motors don't 'idle', they stop drawing power if the vehicle is at a standstill. They are better at this than a gas car.

Realistically in VT as it is it cannot work. We don't have enough stations and it leaves people stranded with a dead car. I never said gas is better just its not realistic with the lack of charging stations and long drives here. This is why theres so many dead EVs all over, didnt realize this was such a triggering statement
