Approximately 95,000 people are currently without power in Southwest Florida.  

Governor Desantis says millions will be effected by this time tomorrow.

EV owners are strongly encouraged to remain indoors and are advised that it may be unsafe to reconnect any unplugged vehicles that are outside for the next 24-48 hours.

The DeTrumptis weather machine has created a giant rolling blackout to hurt the owners of green EV vehicles.

Oh! So you just drill a hole in a full EV's battery and siphon the electricity. Makes sense.

Considering one with an EV likely charges their car every night, I dunno why they would have a dead EV starting out.  Sort of one of the major advantages of an EV, you start out every morning with a full tank.

That said, the same way you would with a gas car which has an empty tank.  You don't.

If you know a storm is coming and don't bother to charge your car before hand, you are an idiot.

250-300 miles will get you plenty far away.

EV’s are great for short trips during normal times. SHTF your EV will shit the bed. Better have an ICE back up

Things have a 300 mile range.  That's more than some gas cars with a full tank.

Teslas are also water sealed and have no requirement for air to operate.  There are lots of videos on youtube of them fording flooded streets and pushing water out of the way.

Unlike gas cars, EV's engines don't use their "fuel" when idle.


Same thing as we saw last winter, EV's can keep the heat on as long or longer than ICE sitting stuck on the freeway in the snow.

If there is gas, you could run a generator, in theory.

If there isn't gas... well... no one with an ICE car is getting their friends to bring them gas cans. (And I thought the roads were jammed in this scenario anyway? Oh well.)

...

Point is, if you wait to the last second to evacuate with an empty tank... you are a retard, regardless of what you drive.

...

Get to anywhere with power and you can charge off 120V if you have to... it would suck. But it would suck less than all the gas stations for miles being empty.

It does, but it is in fact better in an EV.  If you aren't running the A/C or heat, the EV has a much lower fuel use at "idle".  It's just sitting there keeping the electronics/dash lights on.

But there's both an ample amount of solar and wind generators

This is why every emergency preparedness kit should start with a doublestack 9mm.  

With that, you can then acquire what you find you need.

We had multiple houses burn in our area after a hurricane 2 years ago from flooded out golf carts and cars batteries.

Now I am wondering how efficient it would be to have a "bug out trailer".  Instead of hauling extra fuel like some guys do, tow a trailer with big ass extra batteries and just run a cable.

Tesla claims water submersion is not recommended, flood does void the warranty the same as any vehicle, but it is something they aren't ignorant to and the battery is sealed.  I dunno about other brands.

Oh good.  I suppose all the EV owners keep a few spare cans of gas-batteries in the garage for the lawnmower they can pour into their tanks.
