Range anxiety is real, but friends that have EVs don't really have a problem. As most have stated most of your travels are probably well less than 100 miles a day. If they do take a trip they can top up at a Tesla supercharger in the time it takes to grab a bite to eat/bio break. Non-Tesla super chargers are becoming widespread as well. From a hurricane perspective, I'm 100 miles inland in NC, in 26 years I've had one category 1 hit us, and it was bad enough. They normally weaken by the time they get this far inland and we never gave a thought to evacuating. We have had a pretty bad ice storm that took power out for many. We didn't lose power but many did. You really couldn't go anywhere anyway as the roads were in pretty bad shape with ice and downed trees. That you can power your house with an EV for a couple of days is pretty attractive to me. I saw the new F-150 hybrid can power the house for quite a while with 120vac and 220vac.
The writing is on the wall, EVs are going to be the primary personal vehicles in the next 10 years or so. GM has announced that by 2034 they're going all electric. Ford is probably going to follow suit. The Mach E is the first, they are looking at an all electric F-150 which will be a game changer. Rivian is coming out this year with a very attractive and capable truck and SUV. They have already delivered delivery vans to Amazon with thousands more on order. The WSJ recently did an article that looks at the total CO2 output of an EV v an ICE and after about 30,000 miles or so the EV comes out on top regardless of how the electricity is generated. If it can be solar, wind, nuke, or hydro even better. This included the CO2 for manufacturing and mining the rare earth elements to produce the batteries. CO2 capturing is possible with electrical generation, not so much with personal autos, pickups, SUVs, buses, and heavy trucks.
One fuel source I'm surprised hasn't moved beyond fleet sales is compressed natural gas. Much cleaner, lower CO2 than petrol, and easily refueled.
