A family called the police on Secretary of Energy Jennifer Granholm’s entourage after they were blocked from charging their electric vehicle (EV) by a nonelectric vehicle that took up the spot on behalf of the official’s EV.
Ms. Granholm recently went on a four-day EV road trip from Charlotte, North Carolina, to Memphis, Tennessee, that was aimed at bringing attention to the White House’s multi-billion dollar effort to push green energy and cars. In a Sept. 10 NPR report, journalist Camila Domonoske recounted her experience of the journey. In between the trips, the entourage had to “grapple with the limitations” of EVs.
