| Description of the problem | I was driving the all-electric car home from work on a 3/4 charge (~75 miles remaining range) when i noticed two fast, split-second jerking motions, about 30 seconds apart. Within another minute, the car's dash system sounded an alarm and an error popped up on the dash screen, saying "error: electrical system. Stop!" the car effectively turned off, giving me just a few seconds to pull to the side of the road. The car was in motion - i was traveling about 35 mph - and i was traveling on a two-lane road - fortunately not on the highway - but the car went from full drive to complete stop in just a few seconds. Efforts to restart the car (turning it off and on) were unsuccessful. |
