The impact of Irma in Florida creates and interesting EV scenario. Granted Tesla extended range by 30/40 miles but what then? Power is still intermittent in Naples and it will be close to 2 weeks since impact this coming weekend.

There were gas shortages and problems but people managed to scrimp and get by. How can you do that if the grid goes down for a period of time.

Look at Peurto Rico at the moment. They could be 6 months before full capacity restored.

I'm not anti EV at all but it does create interesting scenarios. Electricity isn't as easily and cost effectively stored and transported so that presents a new set of problems.

Realistically EV's need to be as light and frill free as possible, efficiency becomes key and is the consumer willing to sacrifice such luxuries to attain maximum efficiencies??
