I can’t think of nothing worse than trying to evacuate in gridlock traffic and the battery goes to almost empty.

I suspect as EVs become more commonplace and more users experience hurricane or similar weather events, sufficent experience and data will be gathered to help determine how EVs perform and are used in these circumstances.

Are those cans full of electricity next to those full of fairy dust?

I don't have an EV and don't plan to get one.

But why would I make my vehicle purchasing decision based upon a once in a blue moon event? Shouldn't I purchase based upon what's needed 99% of the time? What if an EV fits that bill?

I fitted our new garage with an outlet in preparation for an EV. If the day comes I no longer have a commute, or can get a reasonably priced EV that covers that distance and can recharge overnight, then I'll probably go EV.

I don't buy into them being an environmental savior (it takes about 180k to "break even" on total environmental impact with an EV) but it would be convenient, and over time I would expect it to be much more reliable.

I don't have an EV, but the hate of them is ignorant.

EVs are clearly the future of transportation. Just like ICE vehicles were once.

Get. Over. It.

What if you charged your car with solar power? Will the sun shine after the hurricane passes?
