This disaster has caused me to consider a diesel engine for my next car. No lines at the diesel pump.

Prius don’t need electricity. They use the brake to charge the battery. You can also drive them under 20 miles per hour and not use any gasoline.
They are good cars to have when gasoline supplies are low.
To: dgcoronado
Exactly.....Gas pumps need electricity as done EV’s. I just leased an EV because it was basically free to me if gas stayed around 3.50/gallon. I’m sure the EV’s enjoyed driving past the gas stations and their 4 hour lines, etc. Sure, they need to charge up, but I think I’d rather try and find a socket than a gallon of gas in NY right now....this is just trying to dump on the EV’s. I’m sure I’m the only conservative driving a Nissan Leaf in the country...But it is, what it is....

"Electric cars are still years away from being practical."
A steam car that burns trash, wood or coal sure would be. ;-)
To: Gabrial
All is not lost tho, hook up a hose and pump down to the main tank,fill your manual gas pump, and start selling gas again.

No issues about EV in general... In fact, I’ve read that the Leaf is probably the best one you can get right now. If it works for you, go for it. Gasoline doesn’t make someone a conservative... coal, nuclear, electric companies, etc., are darn good American industries also.
To: AmonAmarth
I guess you can’t carry electricity in a five gallon can.

Partly right, but You might want to do a little more research on that.

I live in Florida, and know a few people who live in what we call "golf cart community's". I know of a resident who had a solar roof installed on his cart for around $600. He drives it all around the park, to the pool, community center, and the shopping center next to the community. He has yet to charge his golf cart conventionally (plug in) for 8 months.. It is working for him. I should also include that this is a large development, and at his age, walking to these various destinations would not be good! This gets him out and is good for his well being. Solar is great, for some uses, and depends where you are located. I would like to see the technology advance, with private investment!
