Too get 900 miles of range with an ICE car you make two ten minute stops in any of the hundreds of places to get gas. Think of the time and hassle to do that with EV. Now it’s even going to cost you more.

Consider this scenario.

A mandatory evacuation hits a gulf state or states and everybody with a battery car bugs out at approximately the same time.

Best case scenario there is the batteries were fully charged....at 300 miles out everybody is looking for a way to charge up.

If your fortunate enough to have been able to afford a tesla your gonna need at least 30 minutes to charge up IF you can find a tesla supercharger.....you and all the other tesla owners.

In the meantime a cat III+ hurricane is bearing down.

Since I do live on the Southeast coast, if I have to evacuate I suspect I’ll be seeing EVs scattered along the highway like so many discarded soda cans.

I’m sure there will be no panic.
