Well what would happen if the power was out and your car's out of gas ?!?! Gas or electric - if you let go to "E" you're screwed either way!


I may be the minority, but, when I know bad weather is coming, I top off the tanks. I might even fill up an extra 5 gallon can or two. How do you prepare ahead with an electric car? Hand cranked generator?


Same way. Tell it to charge to top itself off. They can also be charged from a generator, if you have the right cables, usually getting the equivalent of 20-30mpg.

Gas stations have trouble pumping gas without power too work

Or, if you have solar panels and the correct set up, just plug in to that and wait. Want to be a strong independent household and not depend on the grid? Go off grid laugh2

If you ever find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck.
