The whole EV endeavor is filled with things like this.
I heard a discussion some time back, a motel owner, who wondered how he was going to have to handle this.
“Because I run a business in which travelers driving cars stop to stay overnight on journeys, will I be expected to provide charging stations for every vehicle whose owner gets a room for the evening?”
Take the batteries out of the EV and use them for your trolling motor.
This malarkey is a threat to democracy! /sarc
In reality, they’re fine with us all simply riding bicycles or taking the bus.
Yeah but if everyone had EVs there would be no more hurricanes, no more tornadoes, no more storms, no more hot or cold weather it would be 70 degrees and sunny all year round everywhere, UTOPIA!!!
Ahhhh! Yes.
Mirrors the conversation I had with my lib-in-laws a year ago when they bought a VW ID4 EV.
Feelgood BS flying in the face of common sense and basic economics.
I ask questions that make them squirm.
Fun in a childish way because they both have “grad” degrees and were very successful.
They sure don’t like hearing the real story on EVs from battery production to final resting place.
I try not to be too brutal. Elderly, brain-washed, white liberals can snap when presented with documented facts.
Can you image the long, long line to recharge an EV when hundreds need to use the same super charger Station....
I don’t think you can evacuate the 2.7 million people of Miami-Dade county, especially since there are another 3 million people in the way in Broward and Palm Beach counties.

This article is absolutely right. The insane politicians are setting us up for a big disaster.
Florida has lots of thunderstorms, especially with a hurricane approaching. Equip every EV with a self-inflating balloon and a long metal wire.
There were a few reports here just after Ian stating battery cars that got flooded during the storm began to catch fire when the batteries began to corrode from salt water intrusion.

Perhaps (note the word) EV’s would have had time to evolve along with the supporting infrastructure if the federal government didn’t have it’s thumb on the economic & regulatory scales. But what they have chosen to do, in effect, is to shovel trillions of dollars at an immature technology that requires scares materials and can not be supported by the electric infrastructure now or even a generation into the future.
When the automobile was developing there were steam, electric and internal combustion models. The ICE won out. There are reasons why that happened if anybody cared to look.
Also how do you drive an EV AFTER the hurricane hits when electric power is down, sometimes for a couple of weeks or more?
Biden says I can use my EV to power my house.
That dude is one dim bulb!
‘Fossil fuels’...LOLOL!
Why in the world would you want to replace fossil fuels? They are a gift from God, and allowed mankind to accelerate his development, address starvation, allow us to travel wherever and whenever we want, etc. EV’s will eliminate ALL of that.
Easy solution for you gasoline-addicts: Bring a spare battery, just like what I do with my electric bike on long trips.
