To: null and void

Good luck with that charging station if the reason for the grid down is EMP!

null and void knows that he is being facetious.

If we have an EMP attack or a Carrington event, we are going to have far worse problems than not being able to charge a Tesla.

For starters, your modern gasoline or diesel powered car won't run without its computer.

Your grocery store won't be able to place orders on line.

The warehouses won't be able to find anything, let alone ship it, even if they knew what to ship and to whom.

Your nat gas supplier won't be able to pump or route gas to your house.

Your municipal water system will be down.

So will sewage treatment.

No garbage trucks.

No medicines that require refrigeration.

For that matter, no hospital will be running after the emergency generators run dry.
