AAA Commit to Providing Roadside Charging at No Cost to Members

This is really comforting news for AAA's web site. It may take a while to rollout but it's a significant vote of support for EV owners.

AAA understands that range anxiety might be the thing standing between you and venturing into the world with an electric vehicle. So, we want to eliminate that anxiety by introducing mobile EV charging at the roadside in select markets for our members who drive electric or are considering it. If you run out of charge, we will come to you and give you enough boost to get you to the nearest charging station or home. The best part – for AAA members, this service is provided at no additional charge.

FL is considering a lot of things not based on facts.
A Tesla M3 LR has a 75 kWh battery, you would have 60 kWh to power the car’s electronics and the AC. The car turned on consumes about 247 wH and takes around 342 wH for the A/C or 587wH so you could leave it on for 101 hours.
