or if you have a petro powered generator your still high on the hog lol... majority of the people who have solar panels dont have the battery setups because it so expensive... wouldnt help them out to much untill they get high sun and still wont power a/c units or hotwater heaters, lol and wont work at night lolBut if your solar panels survived the hurricane you are probably living high on the hog.

Or get back home. Florida Power and Light reported 2 million without power after Ian, three days ago. No grid power, no re-charging EV period. I'm sticking to my ICE til they ban it, or gasoline is $11 a gallon in Louisiana.I did think of the people who had EV's trying to evacuate. Where to charge along the way, could they get far enough?
Gas pumps also run on electricity....Just sayin.Or get back home. Florida Power and Light reported 2 million without power after Ian, three days ago. No grid power, no re-charging EV period. I'm sticking to my ICE til they ban it, or gasoline is $11 a gallon in Louisiana.
If your EV stops on the freeway, out of power, can you catch a ride or walk and get a jug of energy? A five gallon can of electricity? Do you call AAA and ask for a jump? LOL
Tesla's Supercharger network is nationwide.I did think of the people who had EV's trying to evacuate. Where to charge along the way, could they get far enough?
you can run gasoline or diesel pumps/station on a generator. Fill that generator tank with the gasoline or diesel from the station. Happened after Ida, local grid down. I can easily carry 3 gallons of gas to my car (60+ miles of range). Can you do that with your Tesla if its dead on the side of the road?Gas pumps also run on electricity....Just sayin.
They'd be ok if they went with the Lightning Charger option.I did think of the people who had EV's trying to evacuate. Where to charge along the way, could they get far enough?
You are totally right. I also know exactly zero gas stations with back up power, or a transfer switch for external power thats isolated to run Gilbarco computers, and pumps only. Ideas and practical use are two diff things.you can run gasoline or diesel pumps/station on a generator. Fill that generator tank with the gasoline or diesel from the station.

Can you cite any ? I havent ever seen a station with a diesel generator in the back.I think after Katrina Louisiana passed a regulation that service stations of a certain size have to have a generator to run the pumps in emergencies when electricity is lost.
