Because carrying a bucket of electricity to your broke down EV on the side of the road is not efficient.

Pretty good idea. Wonder if you could market that to insurance companies?

Our Texas electric grid couldn't handle a week of really cold weather. So how the he77 will it handle all the electric cars our STUPID government wants?

They're working on emergency battery packs to resolve this. Made a few bucks on stocks on the companies developing them. Should be out in 1-2 years. EV or hybrids will take over in urban areas in the next decade or so. Or at least get a much bigger market share than they have now. Gas/diesel will continue to rule the rural and suburbs for decades.
