... when the hurricane arrives they'll be like the Tesla owners in Louisiana right now, electric cars haven't been market tested in hard times and are a fragile technology dependent on lots of infrastrucure and external support with many moving parts
I mean gas stations dont work without electricity either...
... actually many do, they have gas/diesel genset backups, which they can run for a log time since they are a fuel depot
... imagine you are in Louisiana right now which would you rather have, a 4wd gas-guzzling pick-up with jerry cans in the garage and a full tank .. or a Tesla?
