Electric vehicle (EV) drivers in the Chicago area have recently struggled to charge their vehicles amid frigid temperatures, contradicting the assertions of some EV proponents suggesting that fears about performance in inclement conditions are overblown.

Dozens of EV drivers reportedly lined up at EV charging stations to juice up their vehicles in Oak Brook, Illinois, but the bitter cold that has blanketed the area made that task effectively impossible, according to Fox 32, a local media outlet. Several organizations that promote EVs — a product which the Biden administration is pushing aggressively as part of its climate agenda — have previously suggested that concerns over diminished EV and battery performance in cold weather are inflated, but the experiences of drivers in Oak Brook seem to belie that notion.

“Nothing. No juice. Still on zero percent,” Tyler Beard, who had been attempting to recharge his Tesla at an Oak Brook Tesla supercharging station since Sunday afternoon, told Fox 32. “And this is like three hours being out here after being out here three hours yesterday.”

Kevin Sumrak, another EV driver living in the Chicago area, arrived at Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport to discover that his EV had run out of charge while he was away, according to Fox 32.

Vibrations, a crash, flames and smoke: A new threat from wind towers

Investigation under way into cause of energy disaster

We already know that those wind turbines poking hundreds of feet into the air regularly slice and dice birds, including endangered species. Those situated in the ocean are suspected of injuring whales.

There’s also concern, supported by communities across the U.S., that the whirling blades could aggravate health conditions including seizures, headaches, nausea, through the droning sound and more.

And pilots of small aircraft used for general aviation purposes probably can relate horror stories about them.

But now an entirely new threat has surfaced: The vibration, crash, flames and smoke when one of those towers fails entirely, sending the windmill blades plummeting to earth. A report from TheLobby documented such a case in the town of Peetz in northeast Colorado.

There, a turbine collapse and exploded, sending smoke and flames shooting into the air and alarming nearby residents.

There were no injuries reported from the catastrophe at the remote location. And the fire was addressed by volunteer fire departments from Peetz and Crook.

Local resident Jean Meyer captured images of the failure.

The report revealed workers for Invenergy of Chicago, which runs the site for owner ClearWay Energy, were dispatched.
