Consider this scenario:
A mandatory evacuation hits a gulf state or states and everybody with a battery car bugs out at approximately the same time.
Best case scenario there is the batteries were fully charged....at 300 miles out everybody is looking for a way to charge up.
If your fortunate enough to have been able to afford a tesla your gonna need at least 30 minutes to charge up IF you can find a tesla supercharger.....you and all your other tesla owner friends.
In the meantime a cat III+ hurricane is bearing down.
Since I do live on the Southeast coast, if I have to evacuate I suspect I’ll be seeing EVs scattered along the highway like so many discarded soda cans.
Not to mention it doesn’t take a full blown hurricane to knock out ELECTRICITY in a wide spread area.
I’m sure there will be no panic.
And there’s not gonna be a bunch of coal miners around to help push either.
In the FL heat, people stranded on the roadsides will die by the thousands.
But hey, the Left will consider it a twofer. Fewer humans on earth and they died saving the planet.
Back in 07 this whole area was out of power for 11 days. Try that one out.
