It's very easy to store 1000mi worth of fuel and take it with you. It's not very easy to store 1000mi worth of range for an EV.


Now you are just doing last of us fever dreams.


I offroad and camp in the backcountry a lot, often 100s of km from the nearest gas station (let alone anything with an ev charger) and then might be driving area the area hiking/climbing away from camp.

Hard for an ev to beat two 20L jerry cans adding 300km of range to a tank with 450, in the winter, with 500lb of gear. I imagine one day a PHEV will replace my truck but we’re not there yet.

Don’t take the collapse of society to suddenly need to grab a few jerry cans and travel a long way quick where there is no ev chargers


Just a year ago, that was not remotely fever dreams for a lot of people in Ukraine.


Well...I'm replying to the person above me.

But also: I find this attitude a bit silly. The last 3 years have kindof proven the preppers right, haven't they?
