  • Why Electric Vehicles Are Better In Hurricanes - CleanTechnica

    The article from CleanTechnica discusses why electric vehicles (EVs) are actually better suited than gasoline cars during hurricane events, addressing common concerns about EV performance and practicality in such emergencies. It highlights four key areas: charging before and after a storm, evacuation, backup power, and flooding. One major advantage of EVs is the convenience of charging at home before a hurricane, avoiding the long lines and fuel shortages common at gas stations during storms. After a storm, while power outages can affect charging, gas stations also rely on electricity for pumps, making refueling difficult for gas cars as well. Regarding evacuation, the article advises early departure to avoid traffic jams, noting that EVs consume minimal energy when idling in traffic compared to gas cars, which burn fuel continuously. Although gas cars generally have a longer range on a full tank, EVs benefit from easier access to fast charging stations without the long waits typical at gas pumps during emergencies.
