The same as ICE vehicles with auto boxes and electric handbrakes, then. Or did the article not mention this? Or was it trying to pretend that because an EV might in some circumstances fail in a way that prevents them going into neutral, that would happen in every single failure scenario whilst not applying the same narrow criteria to ICE vehicle failures?

When my Jaguar XE Auto AWD was hit from behind everything locked up and it could not be moved until the tow truck arrived. It caused a traffic jam for over an hour and, of course, the tow truck was caught in the traffic jam too. To make it worse neither the police or the carabinieri attended because no one was injured and that left bystanders to direct traffic.
