Woman Plugs In Tesla With 110 Miles of Charge at Wawa. Then It Immediately Dies

A shocking incident was reported recently where a woman plugged her Tesla into a charging station at a Wawa convenience store in Florida, only to have the car die on her with no warning. The bizarre situation left her stranded and frustrated.

The woman, who wishes to remain anonymous, told our team that she had 110 miles of charge remaining when she stopped at the Wawa to refuel. However, as soon as she plugged in, her Tesla's battery began to drain rapidly. "There was no air circulating," she explained, "and I couldn't even open the windows."

She tried to call for help, but the car's lack of power made it difficult for her to communicate with emergency services. It wasn't until a passerby noticed her distress and called 911 that help arrived.

The Investigation Continues

Details about what caused the Tesla's battery to drain so quickly are still unclear, but officials say they're working to determine the cause of the incident. The woman's experience highlights the importance of being prepared for unexpected situations while driving electric vehicles.

As a precautionary measure, we recommend carrying a portable power bank or solar charger in your car, such as our 1800W Solar Generator LiFePO4 BAT Power Station with 200W Foldable Solar Panel Charger. This can provide extra juice to get you back on the road if needed.

In addition, consider investing in a car DVR like our 10.26" Car DVR with CarPlay&Android Auto, which features dual lenses and voice control for added peace of mind while driving.

What You Can Do to Stay Safe

  • Always keep a fully charged phone and portable charger in the car.
  • Familiarize yourself with your electric vehicle's charging system and emergency procedures.
  • Consider investing in a wireless charging pad for your Tesla, like our 15w 10w Charger Pad for Tesla Model 3 with Light Automobile Car Accessories Automotive Wireless Charging Pad.
