You won’t be able to get gas because they’re eliminating gas-powered cars, and you won’t be able to charge an EV because there is no penalty for stealing anything with a value under $1,000.

Freeze in the dark stuck in the snow if you voted democrat.

You don’t wanna be going to a gas station in Oakland either:

6-year-old boy hit by several stray bullets in Oakland

OAKLAND, Calif. - Oakland police said a 6-year-old boy is recovering at a hospital after he was hit by several stray bullets in his leg.

The boy was with his father and 3-year-old sister at the Kwik Serve gas station on 22nd Avenue and East 12th Street Friday night when he was struck by the gunfire.

One reason my wife and I changed one of our two cars into an EV was because the EV can be charged at home. So to fuel our ICE pickup we're dependent on gas stations both for local driving and for trips. But with the EV we're dependent on road-side chargers only for trips, not for local driving (or the first 250-ish miles of a trip since that much of the trip is powered from home charging).

Basically, as long as our home has power we can drive the EV at least for local driving. No cable thieves change that. Neither does disrupting gasoline supplies and shipments (for driving the ICE pickup). And with solar providing 80% of all the power we need year round (admittedly less than that in the winter months, but over 90% of the power we need the rest of the year), our home always has power and can charge the EV.

Bonus points if you need two cars anyway because you're married. Thus, by having one of each: an EV and an ICE car, we have transportation security through diversification. Basically if power and/or charging on trips becomes less dependable -- we have the ICE to use for trips. Or if gasoline because scarce or too expensive (IMHO it's still too expensive) we have the EV. Of course, if the Dims are successful in making both gasoline and power scarce, we can usually charge the EV with our solar for local driving without reducing our power consumption habits at home most of the year.
