what in the wide world of sports is going on here. Went to the likker store to get some tequila and saw this. Jumper cables running from the truck on the right to the truck in the middle, and another pair running from the Altima on the left to the truck in the middle. I didn’t get close enough to inspect. Truck in the middle have two batteries that are both dead? Is that possible?

can you charge a dead electric car with a gas engine(s) and jumper cables? At least enough to get a block or two to a charging outlet?
I would guess not, but I have no clue.

Reminds me of an old joke from the book Truly Tasteless

Jokes from the 70s. What is 3 miles long and averages 5 miles per hour? A Mexican funeral with only one set of jumper cables. And yes, there were a gazillion much more "tasteless" than that, for every race. You could never publish that book today. But it was hilarious. I still have mine.

In theory that can work...I've done it before to start...

my Dad's old wrecker because a normal car's battery/electrical system couldn't deliver the starting amps needed.
However, that truck in the middle doesn't look like it would need to be jumped by 2 cars. My guess there is someone didn't know what they were doing or only one car was actually connected.
