The Great Narrative: Troubling impotency – What happens when an EV goes into a lockdown?
"What happens when a nearly-new electric vehicle suffers a catastrophic high-voltage failure on a live lane slip road?"
"When an EV suffers a catastrophic high voltage malfunction, it goes into a complete lockdown mode. The wheels completely lock up. You can't change the gear. It just stays in park, everything fused together. The reason you can't tow or move it in any way is because it locks those wheels, because any force through those wheels could generate voltage back into a broken electrical system. And that creates a massive fire risk."
