> Huh? What emergency? You will always have solar on your roof. I think in emergencies, gas will run out much quicker than electricity?

You're assuming having solar on your roof (most people still don't) but more importantly, assuming an emergency where you get to stay home.

For example when we had to evacuate due to California wildfires a few years ago, we left the EV behind. Doesn't have enough range to be a good evacuation car and who knows how busy charging stations were going to be with everyone doing the same.

We have gas cars too so no big deal. But having only an EV in such an emergency would be scary.
