Brief Summary:

Add a portable supercharger, aka Jerry Can for electric cars.

Detailed Suggestion:

At the moment, there are only 2 supercharger stations in the city. If the battery for your electric cars run out, you have very little chance to get it to the superchargers. You can only push a car that is broken down, not one that has run out of fuel/ battery. Apparently all the electric cars in the city are hybrids, meaning you can actually fill them with petrol from your Jerry Can, but what would be better is for us to have portable superchargers that can be recharged at the supercharger stations and used as a "Jerry Can" for electric cars.

The Pros:

Makes sense in RP to recharge electric cars rather than refuelling.

Electric car owners dont have to resort to buying Jerry Cans from all these overpriced petrol stations, just to refill their cars on the road. +1 to eco friendly-ness

The Cons:

None that I can think of.

Does this suggestion change balance on the server ?

I dont think so.

 
I'm not too keen on a handheld portable charger, as it doesn't seem too realistic. However, I can see the issues faced by electric car owners.

I would prefer there being more charging points around the city (even if there is just 1 or 2 in a layby or public car park) so you aren't having to worry about being caught out running out of juice and perhaps a way of charging it while it's in or near your garage at your home.

The charging times, the battery life and the fact you can use a jerry can are all submitted as bugs which should further help electric cars too; as I imagine this only makes the situation worse too.

I think we just need something like this 🤣

 
There is a "booster charger" available irl, would potentially give you 25% charge until you reach a gas station. (supercharger)

as for overpriced? would still be pricey, but less than fuel (either get them at the superchargers, or buyable at stores)

1 time use only, as heavy as a repair kit.

Ah could be limited to be able to carry just one, not able to store in vehicles.
