    EXCERPT:

    CHESKY (voice-over): "The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration now urging the owners of electric vehicles to familiarize themselves with the vehicle’s features, including the manual door release location, and immediately replace their 12-volt battery if it they receive a low battery warning. Most electric vehicles have a main battery that powers the car and a smaller battery for on-board electronics, including the door release and windows. If that 12-volt battery dies, experts say neither will work."
