My lib ass sister (who I still love) is thinking of getting a Telsa but doesn't know if she can get a charger station installed at her place. I was like, sis, just run a cable out of the kitchen window like my man down the street!

An issue I could see with fully electric cars is if there's a power outage during say...a natural disaster where you may wanna pack up that car and evacuate. That and at least with gas you pay when you fill it, having to basically pay for all your gas at once along with your power at the end of the month when thst bill comes along would suck, and if your power is cut off you can't drive

Gas vs electric has pretty similar range these days, and most people are going to keep their car "topped up" with charge every night at home vs going to a gas station when you're empty. If there is a natural disaster and the power's off, how are you getting gas out of the underground fuel tanks?

In the case of societal collapse, an EV can charge with a solar setup for years, who's delivering your fuel?
