EV owners run into trouble amid bitter cold – CBS2 (Chicago)

At a charging station in Evergreen Park, Teslas were lined up early Monday morning. Some of the Teslas' batteries had died – leaving the cars sitting askew and immobile in the parking lot. Drivers said some of the charging stations weren't working – and those that were working took a lot longer than usual to charge.

Eva are a house of cards. If park it in your garage you might burn your house to the ground your tires wear out before you go anywhere. Nothing but expensive virtue signaling. Maybe if the right resources were dedicated to EVs instead of producing creative ways to kill everyone. Look on the bright side, windbag John Kerry is leaving his position as climate czar to help Joe with the election……SCOFF AND CHORTLE!

The ‘dead robots’ will have to be towed to a heated garage and then slowly charged. Imagine if a EV novelty car was you primary vehicle!?

Fair warning, again : Don’t drink the EV Kool-aid

Chicago’s political leadership is floating a pension buyout program as evidence it is seriously addressing the city’s thirty-six-billion-dollar unfunded pension liability, but Mark Glennon, founder of the Illinois policy research organization Wirepoints, said that the proposal moves debt from one column to another rather than reducing it, and that the broader fiscal picture facing the city continues to deteriorate across every measurable dimension.
