    As someone who doesn't own an EV, I don't understand what this post is trying to tell me. He used the panel, and later a generator from a road crew, to stop his battery from shutti…

    It looks like you're using the Microsoft Whiteboard logo for DrawX: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Whiteboard You might want to change that to avoid legal issues.
