More shielding ...

... of people from their own stupid decisions:

If your Leaf EV goes limp near Nissan headquarters in Japan, help is on the way. But it's not very green.
In a test program in its home prefecture south of Tokyo, Nissan's 5-ton "EV rescue vehicle," with a 29-kilowatt diesel-slurping mobile generator, speeds to the aid of EV drivers with dead batteries.
Having worked in a related segment of the construction industry, I can attest that a 29kw generator is a pretty big genset to be hauling around to save folks who forget to fill up their tanks.

Why couldn't we just let them sit on the site of the road and let them be the subjects of intense ridicule by the general public? Or maybe there could be a Facebook/Twitter system whereby folks could be alerted to come by and offer them a gallon of gas?! 'You can't use gas? Srsly?'?

Wouldn't that be sweet ...
