Reads like a monologue straight from a Chevy ad where the narrator is slowly freezing to death in his EV while trying to get home, as a blizzard has disabled the grid with every charger along his way.

Curious, what does a 5 gallon jerry of "more stockpilable and shelf-tested productive energy capacity" look like, and where in your EV do you reckon would you put it for your emergency trip that requires more than your capacity can provide?

Mad max with EVs is a good pitch for Netflix, tho

that jerry can of gas won't move a car after 2 or 3 years sitting on a shelf. a stack of batteries and solar panels and wind turbines will still be able to produce electricity to drive an EV for probably 10-20 years.

that's the use-case i'm talking about. obviously I totally agree that you can't take "A jerry can of electricity" in your trunk in an EV. ...but its already pretty chock-full of batteries to nearly its volume limit. and there is similarly a physical volume limit for how much gasoline you can throw in a trunk.

But I digress - I was never talking about single-trip backup fuel, I'm talking about long-term sustainable fuel you can **continue to** produce on a sovereign hunk of land with zero dependencies post-stockpiling.

your points aren't invalid on their own, they're just tangential to my question.

My veggie oil stockpile will easily last 10+ years.

Neither of us will be able to keep our vehicles running long term without necessary spares.

Horses is what you need.
