For comparison, the level of seriousness compared to an ICE vehicle: this would be like if the fuel tank stopped working.
Fuel pump failure is certainly not an uncommon thing, although in my limited experience, they usually become a bit intermittent and the car sputters for awhile, rather than losing all motive power at once (but that's totally possible too).
I am guessing when drive power is lost on an EV it would just coast (hopefully). Since there's effectively no connected battery pack to regen to, and the electric motors won't physically lock up.
I try to avoid political news but am apparently failing at some level.
There were millions of Americans who were very confused in 2020 when BLM protests popped up in other parts of the country.
"Why do they hate the Bureau of Land Management?"
