I was in Uvalde getting lunch, some dipshit came in all upset at the restaurant workers. he planned his trip around being able to get a charge at this spot and the charger wasn't working. They had to explain to him that they didn't have anything to do with the charger. He called a tow truck as I was leaving.

It's been imagined. The answer is, it wouldn't work. People would die. Lots of people.
From your link:
quote:
One way to avoid such risk is to consider the levels of EV adoption commensurate to the capacity of the power system. If the EV occupancy rate in Florida were under 45%, the current power network would still function well under the Irma evacuation scenario. Actually, replacing a portion of traditional vehicles by EVs may help reduce the gasoline shortage in evacuations. Florida faced a massive gasoline shortage during Hurricane Irma – 58% gasoline stations in Gainesville, 40% in Miami, and 35% in Tampa ran out of gas, and many people lined up for hours to get the gasoline for evacuation
The "lots of people would die" scenario would be if 100% of cars were EVs with today's power grid. Not happening.

You mean arguments like, "where am I going to get gas from? I just let my horse eat some grass and drink out of a pond and I'm good to go."

I was wondering if the charging stations would be like those vacuum pumps or air compressors at gas stations. You’d put in your credit card to pay. I guess they aren’t.

does anyone know if sleepy Joe plans a program to offer cash rebates or something to purchase EVs?

I can't imagine the total cluster frick if people had electric cars and there was an evac for a hurricane
Most EVs will get you over 200 miles range, plenty enough to get you out of any danger zone of a hurricane.
EVs also use very little battery if you're in traffic and not moving much, so you'll still have the vast majority of that minimum 200+ to evacuate in traffic.
What would be the issue?

Sure. And as long as the government keeps finding ways to fund/incentivize it, they may do well. If you think the regulatory hammer isn't right around the corner, you don't know how the game is played.

Yeah, similar to the ones they still get today. The ones that mitigated risk for shale operators, that local municipalities/fiefdoms use to attract money to funnel cash to local bureaucrats, etc.

Theory to practice is a big leap. "Oops, we were wrong." is a frequent response from engineers.

This is what a lot of people miss. Charging isn't linear.

I'll hang up and listen.

My BIL says it takes him 30 min to fully charge...not sure if this has improved. The last major evac from S. La I heard people stuck in traffic for 10-12 hours just to get to BR. If people are l4eaving and need to charge what kind of back up do you think that will be at charging stations. Yeh it's a worst case scenario but it's not like we haven't seen a total cf in evacuations before.

The people who bitch about having to stop and charge so often forget their wife probably has to stop and pee even more often than that. It’s not like people in gas vehicles are making a non stop haul across the country on a road trip.
