That was crass of me. (Hand slaps side of head.)

In California, the two main natural disasters are earthquakes and wildfires. Both are short-notice events that have the potential to knock out the power grid with no warning, making it especially difficult, if not impossible, to charge a Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV),” a case study from California Polytechnic State University found.

You don’t say…….

Can’t fill a 5 gallon can with electricicals!

No such thing as a free meal

Just strap the generator on the roof:

That’s a funny video, but the viewer comments on it reflect a terrifying lack of knowledge of physics.

call me when they perfect Mr. Fusion

until then I am sticking with what works

not what increases govt power and control

My boss couldn’t understand why they didn’t have generators on the wheels of electric cars so the battery would charge while traveling. 🙄

Bet it took an Ivy League education to figure that one out.

Especially when they start bursting into flames

I work wildland fires. Every place where there has been one, sales of lightweight internal combustion engine trucks explode.

My decades old IC V6 car with power everything has everything I need and doesn’t make a fraction of the negative environmental impact of a new electric car.And it has a range of over 400 miles per “full charge” of gasoline. Can be “recharged” in 5 minutes.

[vpintheak]

Imagine a car that can’t be charged when all the power lines are down and generators fail. It’s a boat anchor.
Then imagine a car with a small battery and an internal combustion engine. Hmm…

[gitmo]

Wouldn’t a power outage prevent you from pumping gasoline?

[moviefan8]

You don’t say!!

Where’s the Nick Cage picture?

[midwest_hiker]

I have been saying the push to electric. As long as no EMP. Gas and diesel will run with stored fuel, sonnhas older diesel car that can run on used cooking oil

The solution is an ICE vehicle...just like it’s always been.

EV’s are at best playthings...nice grocery getters but not serious vehicles. Yet (perhaps).
