> - I consider gas cars more robust in the face of natural disasters or sudden need to get far out of the Bay Area for whatever reason (zombie attack).

I use about 10% battery per day and charge every night so my EV is on average “fuller” than my ICE ever was. Couple that with the ability to carry solar panels and charge in the middle of nowhere - doesn’t that give some pros to the EV in case of zombies? No engine noise either ( but I’m sure they’ll hear the heat pump if close enough ).
