It's enough to get far enough inland that it's no longer that dangerous, which is why I said "worst effects."

I've never heard of an evacuation order 100 miles inland.

I agree I probably didn't use the right language. You'll need more than 100 miles to both get out of harm's way, and also to ensure you're able to make it somewhere with accommodations available considering everyone else evacuating.

Family in South Carolina are going to Atlanta to ensure there isn't an issue getting a hotel room.

I was thinking more immediate life threatening danger with 100 miles. If you leave early enough so that power outages aren't an issue, finding a place to charge shouldn't be too much of a problem, even if it's a slower charge that adds hours to your trip.

That could be a problem once electric vehicles are much more popular, but then again, fast charging stations should be more popular by then too.
