If you’re a struggling electric-car company and you’re trying to impress the media, it’s best not to lend said media an electric car that has to be towed between charging stations.

The entire (comical) piece from the Times here, but this picture says it all. What good is an all-electric car if it can’t even make it between charging stations that, in this case, Tesla itself set up? 

Editor’s Note: This post originally incorrectly identified the company that was the subject of the electric car failure as Fisker. The two companies are not related.
