Description of the problem	After not having used the car for a while, i decided to see if things were good. I couldn't turn the car at all, so i decided to jump start it. The car turned on but there was a warning saying "problem with ev system, take to dealership". On my way to the dealership, i felt the acceleration of the car had been reduced significantly. When i arrive at the dealership, they say leave your car here and we take a look at it. I left it there and start to head back home. As i am going back, the dealership contacts me and says "we can't work on this car because we don't have anyone who is experienced with this. Come back and pick it up." so i head back to the dealership. On the phone, i made sure they knew it was a fully electric car and they said we would take a look at it. Anyways, as i am driving back home, the acceleration is still very poor. It takes 30 seconds to go from 0 to 40mph. I get a different warning saying "battery overheated, limiting energy supply". There also is this nasty rotten egg type smell as well. I am kind of scared now because battery powered car have been known to catch on fire. So far no one has been able to help me with this issue.
