You raise an interesting thought:

In a big hurricane, the electrical transmission and distribution infrastructure, being all above ground, gets flattened and take weeks, months or even years to rebuild. No power for your EVs while that infrastructure is wiped out.

Your fuel distribution system to gasoline stations is by truck. As long as the roads and bridges are open, you can get fuel delivered. The storage system is all underground and (hopefully) protected against flooding.

The libs and green kooks always yammer on about “resiliency.” Well, the liquid hydrocarbon fuel delivery system is a LOT more resilient than the electricity delivery system.

“electrical transmission and distribution infrastructure, being all above ground, gets flattened and take weeks, months or even years to rebuild”

And that scenario is now playing out in Lee and Charlotte counties in Fla.

I’d still like to know how many EVs that were used to evacuate died on the road and had to be abandoned.
