Quote HistoryQuoted: Why is your tank empty when a hurricane hits? That would be on you. I'd be charged up (or fueled up) before the storm came. Fort Myers to Fort Lauderdale is 140 miles. Just saying, I theoretically could drive there and back without stopping to charge. I sure as shit could make it there and charge while I grab a couple Cuban sandwiches. ... If you are sitting on empty... or fleeing from the storm for 1000 miles... you really need to re-evaluate you problem solving skills regardless of what makes your wheels go around. The storm popped up out of nowhere, man, no one knew it was coming. The horror

Quote HistoryQuoted: What's the ICE equivalent of being able to use an 120V socket anywhere to get at least some charge, by just making it out of the path of the storm outages, even if gas deliver has stopped? Or riding it out and being at home and able to slowly fuel up with solar after skies clear... but with the gas stations still empty for the next week? Why would I need to do any of that if I gassed up before and keep a few 5 gal cans in the garage? The fact is, I can greatly extend my vehicle's range with only mins of delay and no care what the power grid state is in any given area. You simply don't have that with EVs. |

Can you charge an EV while driving?
Generator and 10 gallons of fuel, either towed or in the trunk? Is that an option? Solar panels? (Not that solar helps during a hurricane). |

The amount of people in any vehicle who have zero preparation skill should really show everyone it has nothing to do with EVs. Would an ev be my choice no however it’s always amazing how many people have zero preps during this stuff. It’s like the gas or charge thing neither matter if you don’t have a plan to where you’re going or plans if something fubars while on the way.

Quoted: 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.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Man riding out hurricane in Fort Myers says he's seeing "incredibly high" waves in Gulf of Mexico Frank Loni, an architect from California who is working in Fort Myers, Florida, said he's "never seen something of this nature before" as Hurricane Ian hammers the area. He's seeing cars and boats float down the street and "trees nearly bent in half," as well as some people seeking shelter, he told CNN's Ana Cabrera. The storm surge is about 5 feet high right now, he estimated. The National Hurricane Center said storm surge could reach 18 feet in the area. The Florida Fish & Wildlife Commission (FWC) has advised the storm surge may result in dangerous encounters with marine wildlife. Frank Rizzo of the FWC stated, “The Florida manatee is naturally attracted to high amperage electrical devices and won’t hesitate to unplug them as the rising waters allow them to swim further into flooded residential areas.” wtf manatees unplugging shit? |

Quote HistoryQuoted: This guy understands hurricanes (looking at you Virginia EV fanboy). Would like to hear what the EV guys would think the availability of a charger(assuming power is available) during a hurricane evacuation on an evacuation route would be? I am beginning to think northerners shouldn't even be allowed to post in hurricane threads. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Actually if you're planning to find lodging, you're gonna end up driving a LOT more than 300 miles to find a hotel right now This guy understands hurricanes (looking at you Virginia EV fanboy).

Southbound traffic on I-75 & I-95 is extremely light right now, so it’s not too late to join in! Lodging is a bit of a challenge but hardcore survivalists aren’t afraid of roughing it! Those who complete the tour will be allowed to keep whatever downed stoplights, street signs, flood damaged cars, free floating boats, and more, that they encounter on the tour. Flood damaged ammo might even be a possibility in certain areas! Please do not attempt to feed the alligators while you’re here…we tried that a few seasons ago and our customer satisfaction surveys took a hit (incomplete surveys count against us)  Attached File |
