I sat today and was watching some video-clips of folks preparing to evacuate out of southern Florida. These were people who'd waited until Thursday or Friday to make the decision....and were short on gas.
The lines were forming, and gas sales was brisk.....with some stations running out.
So what happens in 10 years when all these electrical cars have arrived?
Getting from Miami to central Alabama? It's roughly 700 miles. A Tesla? It might do 240 miles on one good charge. So upon leaving your home....you'd be talking about another charge in five hours. That means at least four to six hours of a charge period, and then if you are lucky.....another five hours of driving time before it's dead.
The odds of you finding power stations for all of your crowd....along the interstate....heading to Alabama or Georgia?
I have this gut feeling around 2030...when one-third of all cars are battery-run.....that when a hurricane episode occurs....most folks are going to stay right there, and give up the idea of evacuation.
