[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just listened to an NPR segment this morning about an Oregon family from Lake Oswego that had to flee the wildfires. They were fleeing the fires in their electric vehicle and were very worried that they wouldn’t be able to make it to their destination in Washington state due to a diminished battery charge.

I guess that’s one downside of an electric vehicle - if you need to flee in an emergency and don’t have a full charge, you could end up in a dangerous situation.[/quote]

Well, they should really keep their car charged better.  I’m on a FB group for EV oaners and I saw posts from people fleeing forest fires who were very glad they didn’t  need to stop for gas because the gas stations near them were closed or had incredibly long lines—their charged electric battery allowed them to get well out of the danger zone before they needed to stop.  I think this is less about gas/electric and more about how some people are prepared and some aren’t.  [/quote]
