Editing Utility Car (EVA) (section)

==History==
After the civil war, at least 37 Battery Cars were offline.<ref>''S01E10 - 994 Cars Long''</ref> This suggests that large parts of [[Snowpiercer]] are dedicated to power reserves. 

Melanie later drained the batteries to much trying to escape from Wilford. As a result, the train could never move on it’s own again and had no energy reserves to restart the bogie motors. However before the [[Pirate Train]] was created, [[Bojan Boscovic]] said [[Big Alice]] has enough juice for systems to survive. Which means Big Alice recharged the batteries, some point after the sabotage of [[The Engine]] and is powering Snowpiercer.

However, without Snowpiercer’s engine, the energy it provided was only enough to support essential systems on the train. As a result, it was minus degrees inside the train and all resources were rationed. First Class was even decommissioned by Wilford to save energy.
