Claim: A photo showed electric vehicles that failed and were abandoned during a December 2023 winter storm in Germany. According to the post, the cold drained power from several electric vehicles' batteries and so their owners abandoned them, causing major roadblocks. Even normal cars are stuck between electric vehicles, they cannot get around empty vehicles. In December 2023, however, the photo helped spread the in-question claim — that a recent winter snow storm in Germany caused electric vehicles to fail and create highway roadblocks. They had been trapped by accidents ahead of them and traffic behind during the worst of the snow storm.
