Frozen electric cars caused a multi-kilometer traffic jam in Greece

The traffic jam occurred near the Arachova ski resort. According to local police, many battery-powered vehicles experienced technical problems due to the drop in temperature and snowfall. The electric cars blocked the narrow road, blocking traffic for five kilometers throughout the day. One of the reasons for the serious congestion was the lack of winter preparation for “green” transport.

According to the Greek police, traffic stopped on the road leading to the ski resort due to numerous malfunctions of electric cars. Many battery-powered cars did not have snow chains or winter tires. At the same time, local authorities warned motorists about the need to prepare their cars due to the snow that had fallen.

Police conduct regular checks in the region to identify violators. After the formation of a multi-kilometer traffic jam, department officials once again reminded car owners of the need to use snow chains or other similar means if the vehicles are not shod with winter tires.

At the beginning of the year, experts named the cities in the world with the most traffic jams. The leaders in the anti-rating were London and Dublin.
