‘Bunch Of Dead Robots’: Charging Stations Turn Into EV Graveyards Thanks To Frigid Temps
Electric vehicles may be the way of the future, but many EV owners are having trouble dealing with Chicago’s bitterly cold temperatures.
Public charging stations have turned into car graveyards over the past couple of days.
“Nothing. No juice. Still on zero percent,” said Tyler Beard, who has been trying to recharge his Tesla at an Oak Brook Tesla supercharging station since Sunday afternoon. “And this is like three hours being out here after being out here three hours yesterday.” [emphasis, links added]
Beard was among the dozens of Tesla owners trying desperately to power up their cars at the Tesla supercharging station in Oak Brook.
It was a scene mirrored with long lines and abandoned cars at scores of other charging stations around the Chicago area.
