The snowbound conundrum.
It never ceases to amaze me that drivers still ignore severe weather forecasts, lying snow, traffic reports etc. Insurance companies see an approx 50% increase in claims in icy conditions.
Some motorists are obviously convinced that they have premier league driving skill, judgement and personal assessment of road conditions. So convinced are they that they do not bother with bottled water, a few bars of chocolate, warm clothes and boots, and a blanket in the boot.
And they wonder why they get stuck and blame the weather forecast, emergency services, other motorists - anything but their own stupidity. There may be the very rare emergency which forces you on the roads in poor conditions (eg wife just gone into labour etc) but otherwise wait.
What has this got to do with EVs - as their max range approaches ICE the different power sources are increasingly incidental to the go or stay decision.
