Great points. People ask me “how will you power your EV in a disaster?” I always say I’ll just plug it in, I have solar, how will you fuel your car? Usually they haven’t thought about how if the roads are broken out of town are broken, no fuel is coming in, & if power is out, the pumps don’t work.

Exactly. So many of these what-if's aren't based on reality. Having experienced a city without power, the first thing you notice is the cars stranded on the side of the road.

You need power to operate the pumps, but also internet if you plan to pay by card.

Great point! And we can make electricity a dozen different ways, gasoline you can just make from oil.
