I’ve been posting on FR for a while now and sure enough:

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.

Charging times Tesla model S

Supercharger 30 minutes

Tesla wall connector 9 hours

240 volt home 18 hours

Standard wall outlet 2-3 days

I don't see it as that big a deal. Just have the hurricane prone states mandate a front tow bar connection. There will be plenty of entrepreneurs willing to make a buck pulling them north.

You don’t have to evacuate a long distance. Just get to high ground.
