– We will have to salvage a lot of electric cars from the E6 that have been there during the night, says the Swedish Transport Administration's road traffic manager Mikael Salo to P4 on Thursday morning.

The problem is that the electric cars' batteries simply runs out when they have to stand still for a long time, because the batteries are used to heat the car.

– We have a lot of abandoned electric cars where the rescue service has taken care of drivers and passengers. We will have to move them out of the way, said Mikael Salo.
