Why are you making this so complicated

1. Jump the car
2. Drive to autozone/napa/o’reilly’s/advance
3. Get a new battery
4. Drive to gas station
5. Get gas

If you don’t have enough gas to make that journey, then insert step 0: have someone bring you more gas with a jerry can

Next time you’re gonna be away for 6 weeks, buy a battery tender.

I’ve told myself I won’t trade the bolt in until someone releases a good 2-seater lifestyle EV (read: not an angry sports car). But a New 500 cabrio might just be cute enough that I break my promise.

inb4 they stretch it by 16 inches for the American market.

It’s gonna be like 500 of them. And they’ll all sell. And then they’ll be like, “well, we could only sell 500 cars, the US market must not want us.”

You’ve been fed fossil-fuel industry misinformation.

I’m really curious what the “empirical test data” is that they used to determine OP needed a brake flush.

In fact now I’m skeptical that the filter photos are actually of OP’s.

You need to get a neighbor to come over, stroke the hood gently, give it a cup of tea, and say nice things to your EV. Otherwise it will never forgive you for leaving it alone.

Seriously, there appears to be no limit to the overthinking people do about leaving a car alone. Two weeks is not a long time. 10 F is not an extreme temperature.

Apparently the new definition is station wagon.

So, the Bolt plus V2L.

They either don’t know what they’re talking about, or are talking about hypothetical technology that doesn’t exist, and nobody is motivated to make.

Yeah you can’t blame the consumers, they’re also victims. It’s the regulators that have spent decades falling down on the job by exempting trucks from passenger car emissions regulations, never regulating headlight height or over-the-hood visibility, and so on. The carmakers saw an opportunity to tap into 100 million susceptible male egos to make a shitton of money and you can’t really blame them for that either, it’s the natural course of capitalism to extract all possible profit regardless of everything else.

I want my 2 week phone charge!

Phone makers: Good news everyone! With this new battery technology we’re able to make the phone 2% smaller and the battery still lasts checks notes 9.5 hours!
