Difference is i can throw two 5 gallon jerry cans in the back and be good. In that electric your screwed.
You can't be good if GM remotely disabled your car.
On the other hand, if SHTF anyone with solar panels, a wind turbine, a generator, or micro-hydro can fuel up indefinitely. If SHTF and all the gas is bought up by panic buying you've just run out of luck in your truck.
I can pull the antenna off the communication module in my vehicle no problem so that isnt exactly a problem. How many solar panels you have. It'll take you a week or more to charge with less than 20. You will need a trailer to drag them all around on. Your battery will have maybe 3 years and then its done. Diesel or gas engines can run on woodgas and there's a dozen ways to get to a usable fuel to run in it after you go around and drain all the usual sources. Wood is a hell of a lot easier to find than lithium batteries or working charge controllers and solar panels. Honestly a good electric golf cart would be better if your going for the society ceases to exist with the idea that theres going to be practical limitations. You can charge it with just 3 or 4 panels in a reasonable amount of time and run it on lead acid batteries which you can actually make or salvage since they would be in abundance.

Lol. This is why you should have done your math homework in school. Remember wondering how that algebra could possibly be necessary?
My 10kW array charges 250 miles of range in about 6 hours.
I'm not batting for EVs here but you can't simply disable your cars computer without bricking it. This includes cutting communication.
Are (((you))) really arguing for (((EV)))s in a SHTF situation? You do realize the time to recharge in this article is a lie. It takes hour to recharge from empty to full. Then in a SHTF scenario there won't be solar powar or Hydroelectric capable of recharging your (((EV))) at a rate you'd like to use it at. In a SHTF situation (((green energy))) will die quickly because it's insanely inefficient and requires a comparatively inordinate amount of man hours / power to make function.
What do you mean there won't be solar? My solar puts out 8kW in the winter. That's plenty to charge.
