Well, our Poor

Plenty of people with EVs deal with these issues, including in Florida. They are simply something someone must plan for in emergencies, like they have to with a gas vehicle. It's nowhere near a deal breaker at all.

1) Consider leaving a day or even 1/2 day before a natural disaster emergency is formally declared. This ensures numerous charging options. (This is also good advice for gas vehicle owners). Most states actually advise this anyway: to leave right before any mandatory evacuation. This almost guarantees you will not face gridlock or major traffic issues.

2) In almost all situations, a drive of 100 miles will get anyone out of danger and into a much safer area, even in Florida. A charged EV can easily handle this range- even if stuck on the interstate for hours.

3) Consider your portable battery options for emergencies. If I live right along the coast and only have an EV, I'm spending money on one of these chargers for the extremely rare occasion of an emergency last second evacuation and the remote possibility I might need an extra 50-75 mile range.

4) If someone decides to stay, having an electric vehicle could prove useful in having the ability to charge phones and other devices, and possibly use it to run certain home appliances for a period of time with the proper equipment.

5) You don't have to worry about gas stations running out of gas- or gas stations having 30-50-80 cars in line for a few pumps.
The BEST thing about ev’s is how they preform in floods and hurricanes. The light they put out after exploding into flames is extremely helpful during the dark nights

I think it's funny that you consider your first hand knowledge to be equal to his made up lies.

Didn't he tell you how smart he was?
I try not to comment much on things I have no experience with. Of course you're gonna have those that like to comment on everything I suppose. But if I do have experience on an issue, I do tend to give an opinion. Give me experience over book learn'n every single time. Funny thing about this subject is imo experience will certainly change the way you look at it. I clearly dont look at this the same as I once did just a decade ago. This is based on what I have learned by my dang self... yeah first hand. That said, even the govt has changed the way they handle this issue based on experience. Unfortunately they must screw up before getting better much of the time. To their credit, how they once handled evacuations has been tossed in favor of a more cooler headed, take a deep breath, use common sense kind of approach... at least I like to think so. They dont call it 'live and learn' for nothing.

Not everyone can close up shop a day before a word to evacuate is given. Some of us would be leaving more than a home. BTW this would not be my first rodeo. And after going through two a season in some cases and many more over a couple of decades you tend to wait and see what the storm looks like it's going to do before just packing up and leaving. As I said this not being my first rodeo, my home is fully equipped to run on my own generated power for however long I am without power... and that includes running two AC units if I so choose. The good news for me is none of it is dependent on batteries. The exception being the batteries in the golf cart I use to scooter poot around the neighborhood. I guess if I wanted to charge a phone using a vehicle, I could use that. Oh wait, my gas powered vehicles will also charge a phone... nevermind.

Anyone on here living in the lowcountry right now?

I have a sister that lives on the Edisto River in the Parkers Ferry/Adams Run area. Not sure the availability of the land there but I would imagine it's acreage if there is. Plus the Edisto will get you to the ocean. Sounds kinda like what you are in the market for. Nice area and i would imagine its about as reasonable as land is gonna be for what you get. The area has had some flooding issues recently but there is some high ground on the river.

Have you ever driven an EV?

Nationwide, the average cost of electricity is $0.12 per kWh. (South Carolina's is .11 per kWh- so less than the national average)

At the national rate, someone who drives their EV 15,000 miles in a year will pay approximately $540 per year, or $45 per month.

Someone driving a gas-powered car over the same yearly distance will pay approximately $1,400-$1,500 in fuel costs.
You forgot the biggest expense. Vehicle cost. Depreciation, insurance, taxes and your car burning your home to the ground. There’s ZERO upside to a all electric vehicle. PERIOD

You wanna do the REAL numbers. Lets go.

2009 4runner. 8 years ago. 9,000.00
Insurance per year 527.00
Taxes. 47.00
Depreciation. I’ve turned down 12,000
So It’s Appreciated, the opposite of your EV

Try to look at the big picture. you’re the kind of person that walks in a dealership and says how much is my monthly payment. God love you. Lol

The other ball teams

Both teams getting their first big test this weekend.
Baseball has the series against Clemson. (Clemson, Greenville, then Home) They have looked good but now they will need to be great. We seem to have our most trouble playing them at Clemson. Hope we can win that first game this time.

Softball has the series against #8 Duke, 13-3, in Durham. Duke has lost to #15 Mizzou, #21 Northwestern, and #2 Florida, but have also beat #2 Florida, #16 Nebraska and #4 UCLA. We are currently #19. Would love to see us win a couple.
They played great in Charlotte. Need to stay great on the road now.

Come Monday we may know a lot more about how good our teams might be.
