What I saw next filled me with cheer, for the stranded vehicle was none other than a Chevrolet Volt with a dead battery! The first of many such dead Volt sightings I hope to make.
My reasons for hating electric vehicles (and hybrids) are many, and I don't intend to document them in this blog entry. But I wanted to document my first sighting of a Volt owner who tried to go just a little too far on his battery, and got stranded.
One wonders if the buyers of the Volt and of BEVs in general take into account all the towing expenses they will face, when making their cost-benefit analyses in advance of the purchase?

Volt is not a BEV. It is a serial hybrid. It would need to run out of both charge and gas to be stranded. Or, some other event like any other car.
Yes, I am quite aware of that. Forgive me for not making that clear in my article.
It is also possible, of course, that the vehicle had some other manner of mechanical trouble.
In any case, I heartily rejoiced in seeing it stranded there.
