2-3 days! Even 18 hours is incredibly long.

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.

Right and most homes have 2-3 cars. So are going out at 2:00 am to move cars around? How about apartment/condo complex’s?

No current/amperage stated, guessing it’s like running an electric clothes dryer on high heat for 18 hours. Reddy Kilowatt loves EV’$$$$$$.

Ooof!
No more guessing, it looks quite pricey for you and lucrative for your electric utility provider. Amp draws per charger listed here.
