EV’s don’t have to worry about running out of go juice currently. gas shortage is only expected to get worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because the roads are screwed after a once in 5 year snow storm in Texas and they can't get gasoline delivered? LOL. The south doesn't handle cold and snow well. This isn't a huge surprise to anyone. The thing they do need to figure out is LNG storage for power gen and hardening their natural gas distribution systems to handle the cold weather. Their major gas plants can't go offline in cold weather. In warmer climates they don't get the cold weather package option on their wind turbines. With those it probably makes the most sense to shut them down until they deice themselves and the temperatures warm up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, it isn't. https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/traffic/some-gas-stations-running-out-of-fuel-as-winter-weather-lingers/2555722/ Quote "Obviously the cold weather and bad roads have really interfered with our ability to resupply those stores on a timely basis," said Brad Douglass, the CEO of Douglass Distributing, a fuel distribution company in Sherman. He said there's not a shortage, but rather a delay in distribution and supply should dramatically improve in the next 48 hours. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the prices skyrocketed the outage was in force. Anybody with any smarts would have filled there EV like there gas counterparts should of. Most people don’t wait till there EV is empty to fill it like they do gas so it’s not really that much to fill for most people as they only replenish what they drive for the day... in a Tesla they are getting around 1/3 kwh a mile and some are approaching 1/4 Kw a mile. So if they drove a 100 miles during the storm and had power to plug into during the storm they would only need 20-30 kwhs to top the battery back up. Even at a $1 a kwh that is only $20-$30. If you had a fixed plan it is just pennies... business are the ones typically running variable and will bear the brunt if they had power during the outage.

Charge rates are non-linear for lith-ion batteries. It takes 15 minutes to get 180-200 miles of range at a charge station. 5 minutes will net 75 miles. This is fir a Tesla.
