Funny, an EV could park at a motel one night, plug in using an extension cord and get enough to go another hundred miles or more the next day - meanwhile lots of ICE are sitting waiting for gas to get delivered - during a hurricane...

How many times on this forum have we heard the complain that someone would never own a EV because in an emergency there would no where to charge. Ahem...
When the power goes out because there's a hurricane, you're not going to charge your EV until the power is restored.
