In an evacuation traffic moves at about 10mph so that 400 miles is irrelevant. When Houston evacuated, my in-laws sat in ONE SPOT for about 4 hours. No way off the highway. Trapped. Cars were all over the sides of the road that had run out of GAS. God forbid it rains and they have the wipers on eating battery power.

True.

Also true.

If I am in Miami, and wish to leave the state of Florida without refueling, I am just plain shit out of luck, by about a hundred miles.

My comments and your comments together add up to a very real reality of mass evacuations from Florida. If the gas stations run empty along the major highways, those leaving late from South Florida are going to be rightfully ****ed.

Also true, too!

So in an evacuation scenario, gas or EV…..it doesn’t matter, you’re hooped either way…..no?

The ICE advantage is, people can carry a few extra Jerry cans with extra fuel. When we went to check on a relatives house after Katrina, there was no gas past Baton Rouge, so we stopped, filled up the truck, and filled up 4 cans.....instant extra 24 gallons of range. We ended up not needing it and left it with a friend of the family who needed it for the generator and to get around. Cant really do that with electric vehicles.
