Wait, What ?

Usually if your car's battery is flat you jump start it with jumper leads.
You can call the AA or if you have jumper lead cables you just need to charge it from someone else's that's car thats already got some charge.

Then you charge your car up. I think most people make sure their phone is charged, before they leave home and their car has got enough gas, so, same for electric cars - keep your eye on the meter.

I'm being serious though. If you going long distances with not much gas its not that advisable, most people know that!
 
You may need to take your car to the mechanic if your battery is dead though and get a new one that lasts longer. Or they can bring the battery to you. (most new batteries will already be charged up)
 
I think charging stations might also sell spare batteries, in any case having a spare battery in your car might be a good idea just as having a spare tyre.

Integration of Amazon Alexa into vehicle dashboards is growing but still lags Apple CarPlay and Google’s Android Auto in acceptance by automakers.

Automakers know people want their cars to be a seamless extension of their digital lives. In just a few years, integration of smartphone-based Apple and Android capability into dashboard media systems has become nearly universal, but getting Alexa Auto onboard has gone slower.

huh my car just speaks Japanese when it does talk
But I don't understand anything it says so, I just drive. I don't have any music or radio on. I talk to God when I'm alone in my car.

I was traveling the interstate yesterday. A Tesla was on the shoulder with their four ways on.

Do towtrucks or AAA bring a battery charger that will fit a Tesla charging point?

Good question. I would think towing services might come charge a battery. Maybe someone here knows?
 
Don't they just change the battery?
Then you take the flat one home and charge it.

Honestly it is not that hard...everyone who uses batteries either keeps spare ones or recharges them...I'm not the type of person who goes to someones house and then always plugs my phone in their sockets.

Plus I always check I have enough fuel to get to where I am going whether it's gas or 'juice' or cash or money in the bank. BEFORE I leave the house.
 
I think in the US it's probably not reliable to have an electric car because of the long distances of travel to get anywhere.
If its just A-B in town thats electrified it would probably be ok.

Your country is pretty much a big grid anyway, except for Alaska, Hawaii, and all the states that don't have straight lines as borders. Don't Americans use their trains anymore?
