Gasoline sitting in a tank goes bad in 6 months. Even with a stabilizer you’re only looking at 2 years before degradation is an issue. I’d think an EV with solar would last longer even with battery degradation to worry about.
yeah but it’s more available, so leverage the availability of gasoline and combustion-powered vehicles to get by and scavenge in the short term, until you have a usable EV + solar charger set up for the long term. i wouldn’t go straight for the EV right off because without a charging setup ready you’re hosed as soon as its battery loses charge but you’re right, an EV be useful for far longer if the grid disappeared.
