[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have a Honda hybrid, the Clarity. Is plug in. Far prefer this to all electric at this point in time - if need to evacuate or do long trip in emergency, the all hybrid vehicles won’t get you there. Only draw back is relatively small fuel tank on long road trips, but not a big deal. [/quote]

If you need to evacuate in an emergency, I'm not sure why you're assuming it'll be any easier to get gas than it will be to get electricity. New all-electric vehicles can get you more than 200 miles with an 80 percent charge (which is the max they recommend keeping it at) -- there's plenty of places to re-charge quickly somewhere within 200 miles of here, and if the entire electric grid in the region is shut down, I wouldn't bet on gas being easy to find, either.[/quote]

DP. When the derecho hit and there were massive power outages we still were able to get gas. We just had to pay by cash.

For the foreseeable future, we will always have one gas and one electric car to cover all bases. And cash on hand. 😁
