Has anyone thought it through?
If all cars were electrically powered…..
Imagine three hours of traffic jam, battery flat, what are you going todo?
There is practically no heating in an electric vehicle over extendedperiods
If you are stuck in traffic during the night, no battery energy left, noheating!!!
Call the breakdown services to collect women and children!!
They can’t even get there because the roads are choked!!
When the road is cleared no one can move, (flat batteries)!!
How are the hundreds or thousands of cars going to be recharged?
It’s going to be the same in the summer traffic jams.
That’s going to be perpetual jams with dead batteries.
(But nobody talks about it!)

Minuscule amount of diesel required, about 1 amp per hour to run

stuck in a blizzard for a week-

Problem solved - and, no, you don’t need a huge fuel tank

Many people already run diesel heaters in cars (petrol or diesel cars) - they are standard fare in trucks.
