In a scenario where I need to drive many hundreds of miles to get to safety and there is no working infrastructure for charging an EV, I'd expect every gas station to run out of gas pretty darn quickly.


It’s easier to store, ration, and fill gas for gas cars than electricity for electric ones.

Maybe that won’t always be the case, but it is now.

Electric cars are a luxury atm.


Emergency services can step in and easily provide emergency fuel, charging though?


Imagine this: a giant semi-truck loads up and dumps 45,000 gallons of gasoline into invisible, underground tanks in about twenty minutes.

Now, try to imagine that could happen for electricity. (It's the same reason why datacenters always have diesel generators.)
