Flee in your EV? Have a great friend with a F-350 and a flatbed trailer and see if you can put your EV on it. If you have the Mustang Mach E, you can put it on my trailer...😀 all other EVs, maybe.

California democrats ordered “road diets” reducing the number of lanes to force you into buses or walking or bicycling and now they are cutting off the electricity.
You will all burn to death on the road out just like what happened in Paradise, California which took state money with strings attached and reduced a 4 lane road to 2 lanes.
The democrat party murders people.

Not so easy to keep buckets of electricity handy.Wait, if that's true, then how come they call electricity "juice"?

Actually I think it’s 400 volts.

It’ll still take an hour to put thirty miles of range in the car.

Enough to curl your hair in a few microseconds in any case.

Yes, 400 volts, exception being Porsche @800 volts.
To: Seruzawa
True but EVs have disconnecters which disconnect the batteries from the external contacts.
To: crosdaddy
And a few others I think.
To: BiteYourSelf
Also true. But you’d better know what the heck you are doing before you start messing with it. I was a shipboard electrician in the USN. You don’t want to mess around with those voltages. Even a slight error will kill you very quickly. Getting bit by 450V is no laughing matter.

bite yourself!
Are you sure? Do you have an EV?
It beats getting out and pushing.

Go to YouTube and search for videos on charging Teslas with generators.
