Here's what happens when your Tesla Roadster (or any EV) reaches the end of battery life

I keep thinking about a winter 4 hour traffic jam here in Ontario on the 401. What happens to huge numbers of "dead cars" blocking the highway? A can of gas, or a boost isn't going to cut it.

I think hybrid is definitely the way to go. Price gasoline accordingly to promote using battery power for the environment's sake. At least you have an option, and it won't leave you stranded.
