I live where wildfire is the most likely of any evacuation scenario that I can think of. I keep my pickup 3/4 full of diesel, but most of the time it is full (not a daily driver). This gives me 500 to 700 miles.

But we are talking about getting caught not full - I'm still going to have more range on a half tank than most EV have full.

If had to pick (and I guess I have) , I wouldn't pick an EV for evacuation. It is difficult to toss in a jug of electricity, but I can easily add 200 miles of range with two five gallon cans.

Now I just need some autopilot because I don't think I can stay awake for 900 miles of driving!

Lest I be framed a hater with my diesel (no rolling coal for me) truck, I think EVs have there place - just not in my area (yet).
