If ever there was a time to want to be driving an electric car, it may have been last week — after the Colonial Pipeline cyberattack forced the company to take some of its systems offline. Fuel shortages resulting from the attack caused panic in parts of the country, with residents lining up at the pump, causing gas prices to spike.
Long lines, high gas prices and short tempers are frustrations that electric vehicle owners like Kathleen Biggins are glad they don’t have to deal with.
“My son noted that ‘Mom, we have your car. We don’t need to be so worried,'” she told CBS News meteorologist and climate specialist Jeff Berardelli.
Biggins said she feels secure as she watched the gas shortage unfold across the country and watched the lines at gas stations get longer.
