I tried to help a neighbor out this morning with jumper cables. He had a hybrid, though, and we could not figure out how to get to the battery that mattered. We did charge the small battery in the back, though, which enabled him to turn on his lights and radio.
I still have an old timey gas car. It’s good enough for my once a week driving needs, and I hope that by the time it expires, I somehow won’t need another car.
So, it was a shock to see an alternate car anatomy. It reminded me of some dinosaurs having an extra brain. (This may be invalidated at this point.)
Also, it would have been worth trying to get a whole bunch of extension cords together to plug it into his house.
