Do EVs and natural disasters not currently coexist?

Once again you go for the gotcha and not doing your home work.
Researchers sound alarm about electric vehicles and hurricane evacuations The Princeton study concluded that due to all these issues, a wholesale adaptation of electric vehicles is not recommended for disaster-prone areas like Florida. It “may not be economical” for utility companies to prepare for these rare disaster scenarios and the peak demand it would entail, they found. As a result, the Princeton researchers concluded that hybrid vehicles could be a happy medium of helping reach climate goals while keeping Floridians safe during a disaster. Or for a family with two vehicles, it might make sense to keep at least one non-electric vehicle (or a hybrid), even once electric vehicles reach critical mass in the future. https://www.wlrn.org/news/2022-09-29...ne-evacuations Honestly it pains me to see you get yourself in these situation. |

Dig and be more present...uh, yeah.

He keeps saying recycled when he really means turned into black mass that is landfilled or shipped to Africa. Wonder who pays to clean up this hazmat disaster, because the "recycler" just went bankrupt. Wonder how many hazmat gallons of water went into the storm sewer? Remind me, why do EV's kill twice as many people by fire than a shitbox Pinto in a vehicle crash? Maybe the HAZMAT placard needs to be mounted in the EV where drivers can read it.

'Fighting for our lives': Tesla driver in LA says his car 'dies every day' and he's 'over it' — why the current state of EVs is pushing consumers over the edge
"I thank God every day I chose to do a lease and I did not buy this car." “We are literally out here fighting for our lives for chargers,” Antrell said. He claims the recording was made at a Los Angeles Tesla supercharger station that is under equipped — with just five or six chargers, two of which are designated for handicapped use — for the high demand in the area. “There’s literally six [or] seven Teslas over there waiting to charge their car,” he said. “They’re going to have to fight because they don’t know how to form a proper line. They skip each other.” He added that most drivers then occupy the chargers for about 45 minutes, or until their batteries are full. Antrell says he drives a Tesla Model Y Performance — the top-end version of this model with around 285 miles of range — but despite going all-out on a premium EV, he claimed: “My car still dies every day. I’m over it.” “If you’re driving up an incline, for example, or if you’re driving fast on the highway … your battery depletes extremely fast,” Antrell said. “A lot of people get electric cars and it ends up being something they hate because they’re not getting that mileage that they thought they were going to get.” Antrell claims he got his Tesla Model Y Performance when it cost around $70,000. In 2024, a Tesla Performance Model Y can cost up to $54,130, while a standard Model Y is going for $44,630, according to Car and Driver. https://moneywise.com/auto/auto/la-t...dies-every-day Article speaks for it's self. |

Organizations like the New York State Police had warned against drivers traveling to view the eclipse in cars that couldn't withstand long delays: "If from out of the area, don't use vehicles that can't travel for 10-plus hours without charging - stranded EVs [electric vehicles] in traffic will be towed," Newsweek reports.
Monica of the Livesey family from Massachusetts said: "I got there [Vermont charging station] with 1 mile [of EV range left] only to find out there were about 60 cars waiting to be charged." |

Edit: It was a slower Level 2 charger (about 10kW), and they went back to check a few times and there were always 3-5 stalls open, so no big deal. Really helps to have an offset work schedule. Working mostly on European time from Cali, your work day is pretty much done by the time everybody else's mornings are just ramping up, so makes it really easy to hit the freebie Level 2 and off-peak Level 3 chargers without the shenanigans. This guy would have been better off in the new Prius, or heck even an X5 45e/50e where there's only a slight reduction in fuel capacity and highway mileage, and plenty of power and range.

But the new coal plants do "not necessarily mean that China is going to increase an equivalent scale of CO2 emissions," said Qi Qin, China analyst for Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air, who also wrote the report. That's because China is "increasing its renewable power capacities by [the same] scale too", she said. China has recently built more solar power than the rest of the world combined, Impressive to say the least. More coal more solar more energy = less fuel poverty |

You're most likely correct. IMO the two requirements for most people to have success with a EV is home charging and a second ICE vehicle. I see very few horror stories when these criteria are met. The folks driving hundreds of miles to see the solar eclipse were idiots.

Now it's mind numbingly fast and comfortable EV for the family and V8 when i'm driving alone |
