For a long time, the German word fear range has been an international profession. It ’s not just German electric car buyers who want to know what to do if electricity runs out in central Pampas and the load stops.

The owner of the car with an internal combustion engine stretched his way to the gasoline pump with a spare canister and an extended thumb, while the driver of the electric car shrugged. What should I do if I can't see the charging station in the distance or far away, or the damage caused by the acceleration race to the battery exceeds the calculation result of the on-board computer.
