Seems risky to me. I heard that some cars that literally run out of gas sometimes have to be towed to the shop to be restarted after a fresh fill-up because of severe vapor lock in the fuel system. Enjoy your driving and do it safely. Put the useless toys out of your mind.
But in my area many gas stations still sell just gas without any ethanol added. Usually took a couple days to find a gas station that was open and had gas. At least it was cheaper. But i guess at least we have supply.
I remember having to search to find a gas station that actually had gasoline to sell. Cheap is relative. It was a major strain on me. I have no problem if you wish to dte. As an added measure, I add gasline antifreeze alcohol to every tankful in the winter. However, unlike petrol or diesel cars, they only use the energy they need to move - sitting in traffic with only basic ventilation uses very little power.
So if the next services are in range, even if it might take a couple of hours, hang in there - it could be quicker overall to reach that high-speed charger than risk a low-rate public charging point and a long wait for recovery or recharging. Some cars - such as the NIssan Leaf and Renault Zoe - will give you a short heads-up before completely shutting down. In the case of the Leaf, it goes into Turtle mode - and can crawl at 30mph for about a mile, with coasting enabled.
Enough to reach the hard shoulder safely. All electric cars reserve a percentage of battery capacity for charging and battery life reasons - fully draining the battery regularly will reduce range and shorten its life. That is locked out by software, but for a good reason. There's an exception to this in that Tesla sold some 60kWh cars with a larger than specified 75kWh battery pack.
Owners could pay to unlock the extra capacity, and in a national emergency, Tesla demonstrated the ability and willingness to enable the extra range so owners could evacuate an area at risk of natural disaster. Some cars will show signs that they're running low on fuel before they're completely dry - hiccuping, stuttering or reduced power output on electric cars are all signs that it's time to pull over safely and call for roadside assistance.
If you run out of fuel in a town or city, most service stations will sell you an approved five-litre fuel can - restarting your car should be covered in the owners' manual. Electric car drivers will be able to find the nearest available charging point using Zap-map. Most electric car manufacturers offer free roadside assistance in the UK and Europe as long as the car has been serviced by the main dealer according to manufacturer recommendations.
Failing that, both the AA and the RAC have started to roll out solutions to add enough charge to reach a public charging station, though these are aimed more at city users. The AA's current solution is to use a specially modified patrol van as a generator, whereas the RAC has a built-in booster that adds 10 miles. Should your EV run out of power, the 12V accessory battery will usually keep lights, hazard lights, steering and braking operational to allow you to be seen and be moved - it can be assisted in much the same way as a regular car battery, if it runs out.
If you have a new or approved-used car with roadside recovery, you'll normally be able to get back on the road within a couple of hours - though it can take much longer for electric cars if they need recovery.
