It’s cool to own an EV IF you own an ICE vehicle too...

It would be nuts to only own an EV.

They won’t pull you through a Hurricane evacuation - they could catch fire if salt water hits the battery, or just stop running in 6 hour evacuations. . In cold weather you might not get home before the battery dies... the Southwest Airline’s version of car ... cancelled.

We don't worry too much about hurricanes or salt water in north central Alabama. It's much like the snow blizzard of 1993 was probably a once in a lifetime event and not worth using that as a basis for the normal driving environment I expect a car to handle.

There aren't many of us solar users and EV owners who are conservative. But of those of us who exist, a large percentage of us do it to diversify our energy dependence and/or to make us less dependent on the Dims' energy policies.

I probably wouldn't own an EV even as a 2nd car if I lived near the hurricanes or regular blizzards. I probably wouldn't own an EV even where I live if it wasn't for the fact that I went solar too and made my house all-electric as a way to try to wean us from being dependent on energy resources that the Dims control through their stupid policies. An EV is an extension of that mostly energy freedom -- allowing us to do all of our local driving practically free just like we power our home practically free (pulling 15% to 20% of our power from the grid).
