Debunking fantastical tales from the comment section
Article contentAs one commenter put it “if gas the tanks are full, the EVs are charged.”This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below.“Better pack a gas generator so you can charge your EV when its battery runs out!” is another common sentiment. Advertisement 6Various commenters also pointed out that in the sort of crawling ‘stop-and-go’ driving characteristic of mass evacuations, idling gas-powered vehicles are at their least fuel-efficient, while EVs are particularly energy efficient. In a long and slow lineup of stop-and-go traffic, gas-powered vehicles will therefore tend to rip through their energy source at a much higher rate than an electric.

Carroll accused Trump of raping her in a New York City department store in the 1990s, and her 2019 lawsuit focuses on her allegation that he defamed her character in denying doing so. @Plug&PlayEV had some answers to these rectally-sourced points, including that (like owners of gasoline vehicles), EV drivers plan for evacuations by filling up their batteries ahead of time, most often at home in their driveways while they sleep and not in long, pre-evacuation lines at gas stations. Also, EVs can drive through puddles.

"That's actually what happened last winter. In fact, with no engine or conventional air intake, they can drive through at least as much water as a gas-powered machine of a similar size.
