Do you have this kind of thing happen with your gasoline car? hit a few hills and have to call someone up to bring you a gallon of gasoline?
when driving my electric car I pay attention to the battery gauge just like I pay attention to my gas gauge in my gas car and I'll admit that I do know people who have run out of gas, mostly because when your gas tank is empty it's really empty! batteries don't have an exact bottom so you can crawl home, but the battery meters can give you an extremely accurate reading of how much energy you have left.
