Say you go hiking ~100 miles away from the nearest supercharger. Is the car intelligent enough to know not to cool the car down to 20%?

I’d rather run out of battery in the middle of the desert than be caught driving that monstrosity.You gotta wait for these things to get better

He knows they shut off at 20% he’s saying what if that 20% isn’t enough to get to the nearest chargerRead your manual, both shut off at 20%. I'll give you one on page 82, you find the other.
Thank youHe knows they shut off at 20% he’s saying what if that 20% isn’t enough to get to the nearest charger
And here, ladies and gentlemen, is (what I personally believe) the main limiting factor to adoption of EVs. They still require a fair bit of thinking, whereas most drivers are completely disinterested & oblivious in how they get from point A to point B.use common sense ... you know you have 100 miles to nearest supercharger and how much juice you need. the car doesn't know that you are not charging nearby (say a garage with an outlet) and instead need to drive 100 miles.
I agree. Members of this forum seem to enjoy working with the mechanics of operating an EV. The average car owner who wants to know nothing about how their car works and is likely to drive away from a gas pump with the nozzle still attached to the car will be unable to manage adequately the complexity of getting good function from an EV, and they won’t want to. Making EVs idiot proof is a step that needs to be taken.And here, ladies and gentlemen, is (what I personally believe) the main limiting factor to adoption of EVs.

does an ICE car turn off an idling engine when you are out in the wilderness because the system realizes that the closest gas station is 100 miles away and if you keep idling the engine to run the AC you won't make it there? just curious...

Just to spit ball what it would take to "idiot proof" a car in the OP's scenario, just to look at what is needed for it to workI agree.

I think there’s a car or two on the market today that will shut off if idle for 20 minutes after exit if the driver forgets to shut the car off but otherwise no. The difference is that gas stations are plentiful, refueling (even from empty) takes less than 5 minutes, and if the closest one does exceed your range, you can call a friend/family member/AAA to come bring you a few gallons of gas to get you where you need to go. If you run out of battery in an EV and the nearest charger is 100 miles away, enjoy your hefty tow truck fine.does an ICE car turn off an idling engine when you are out in the wilderness because the system realizes that the closest gas station is 100 miles away and if you keep idling the engine to run the AC you won't make it there? just curious...
