After the storm has passed there may be some areas without power for several weeks. Electric vehicles would not be convienient for long. EVs are just one more example of a DemonicRat Highly Polished Glitter Turd. They always tell you that it's okay to pick it up by the clean end, YO!. Everyone with half a brain knows better.

So, they have a way to nibble at the margins, but if/when the grid goes down the generator keeping a gas station alive is NOT going to be available to charge any EVs.

Thats the kind of talk you'd expect from academics. They are largely separate from the engineers who actually make the electric system; the ones responsible for increasing battery range.Rickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15452530649659364201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5183651835847025449.post-45546624282315302312022-09-27T10:17:56.741-05:002022-09-27T10:17:56.741-05:00Sorta like the guy that got stranded at the COAL M...Sorta like the guy that got stranded at the COAL MINE?????Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
