What Happens When Your Electric Vehicle Runs Out of Juice?

Will your electric vehicle leave you stranded if you let the batteries run dead? Find out what kind of headaches you’ll face.

Is your electric vehicle like your smartphone? Both run on the same type of batteries, and some old advice is to drain your phone’s batteries entirely occasionally. This is supposed to protect your phone’s battery life, but should you drain your EV batteries? Considering your electric vehicle is your source of transportation, allowing the batteries to run out could cause headaches.

What happens when an EV’s batteries are empty?

When you run out of gas in traditional vehicles, a hike to the nearest gas station is a reasonable solution. If you’re lucky, a kind person will pick you up and transport you to and from the gas station, making it easier to bring back a gas can filled with fuel to your vehicle. This isn’t a possible solution when you drive an EV.

EV owners who find themselves stranded because they didn’t quite make it to the nearest charging station have to call for help. Unfortunately, you can’t walk to the station and bring back a can of electricity. Thankfully, like gas-powered vehicles, EVs warn you that the batteries are running low. You might become stranded if you ignore this warning and attempt to stretch out your miles.
