An electric car capable of running for 1 million miles is within reach.

    What was the issue? Do you know?

      Handing out driving licences like they were sweets instead of actually testing people’s ability to drive, maybe?

        This is often the issue. Not in this case though. He had his license for 24 years, while driving from the south of Germany to the Netherlands back and forth twice a month. He never had an accident before.

        It can’t possibly be that. We have to abolish trees - that’s the real answer!

      I think the tree didn’t give way when it should have and damaged it a bit, hard to tell though

      Lost consciousness for a bit. Unknown why.

          No, but it’s still a factor why they may not last forever XD never underestimate human error.

            My car wouldn’t have done that. Had I fallen unconscious it would either follow the road or stop

            But that’s also not because it’s electric.

              There were no stripes on the road so the line assist didn’t work. He was unconscious for just a sec, he remembered seeing the slight turn, then to wake up while flying into the trees.

        Probably the electromagnetic fields of EV! EMF is very bad with those! /s
