So we just had a major hurricane in Florida

So we just had a major storm, power is out infrastructure destroyed. Tell me how would this work out in an EV world?

let’s do a test: gasoline and diesel can be brought in and pumped directly from the tankers.

EV: no power battery dead, high water danger.

what world do you want to be in?


give me a reliable ice truck/suv/car anyday.

==================================

Same for me. There's some places in South Tampa that routinely have enough standing water, I wouldn't trust an EV but have no issues with ICE there.

Oh no! I hope everyone is safe.

EV's although have their benefits, they also have their shortcomings. Until such time that we can develop a reliable power source, older and reliable technology will still remain relevant. If they can develop a solar panel that is a hundred times more efficient than monocrystalline panels, then EVs might actually become more viable, that leaving them for a short while under the sun can fully recharge the battery. That's probably wishful thinking on my part. We've already come a long way for the batteries, from Manganese to Lithium Iron Phosphate, what's to stop us from developing a more efficient charging method?

I believe there are couple of solar farms in the bend of Florida where the storm hit. I'm curious how they fared.

If they fared anything like the ones in the west, then they are now garbage. Another problem with green energy……it’s called ….wait for it….weather…lmao

Long way to go on that one…..
