Article in Sunday Chicago Tribune about how gas engine cars will be collector vehicles in 30 years when EV takes over. They list the most likely ones-guess which is at the top of the list.

Sounds GREAT! Then figure out how to build a power grid to withstand, fire, drought, hurricanes and other forces of nature. Then demand. Water for your tomatoes or electric fuel for your car? Imagine it taking 45 minutes and more to gas up a 914. Charging arenas the size of airports. NIMBY. Of course, the utility cos and rates would NEVER be gamed.

Yeah, in 2005 millions of people tried to flee Houston as Hurricane Rita approached. That led to hundreds of miles and days of gridlock, worsened by people running out of gas. I can just imagine how much worse that could be with large numbers of EVs, and many of those running out of charge.
