Right. Car stops running. If that happens, after waiting few minutes, you can make another let's say 100 meters.
Before i had Canion, my car stopped near my parking place, but after waiting some time i could drive a little more, and after it stopped again, a little more too (like Zelenec said).
OMG, Malm, you don't suppose that's why you have a sick cell? Our batteries are top-balanced and running the car at the other end is not a good idea. Our BMS attempts to give us as much warning and get-home juice as possible while protecting the battery, but it really is up to us to treat that battery properly.
To answer the topic question: if you value your battery pack and miscalculated the distance you needed to travel, then STOP soon after turtle shows up and -
1) Beg someone to allow you to plug in using your L1 Mitsu EVSE that you always carry (right?) and of course offer to pay.
2) Call someone with a portable genset and have them bring it to you
3) Get towed to a place you can charge
If you must continue a short distance with turtle on, then please crawl and barely touch the go-pedal. You don't want to pull any more current out of the battery pack than absolutely necessary.
With all the tools available to us, there's simply no excuse for depleting the battery prior to reaching a charging destination. Contingency planning is a game that pays dividends, but being caught in a traffic jam in a blizzard is perhaps a valid excuse. :roll:
I've never seen turtle and rarely go below two bars. Only time will tell if this proves to be a good strategy. Having murdered plenty of lead (and a few lithium) batteries in my other EVs, I've hopefully learned my lesson.</soapbox>
