Tell me you don't know how EVs OR evacuations work without telling me.
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. |

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. |

Wifie's Bolt has more range than many gas guzzlers like big SUVs and my IS-F.

I have two sisters in Ft. Myers, live in a double-wide community. Stubborn biatches are planning on riding it out in their community building. SMH
My dad is in an assisted living building close to them. That building is nearly new and built like a brick shitter. |

On that subject, you’re correct. Curios though, how do they ring up your milk and bread purchase without power? |

How do they ring up stuff? sometimes they dont = free, helping other humans. sometimes they just use their brains and do math in their head and sell goods. Sometimes they close. Sometimes they stay open, sell goods, while armed, and watching out for feral looters. |

Looks like I, and Simpleman68 are pretty much in the bullseye of this shit show. I've got 2 generators, and just went and bought about 8 different types of extension cords and fuse strips. Already run all of the cords and fuse strips ready to switch over to generator power...to see if I can work tomorrow and Thursday.
Time will tell. |
