The charging infrastructure has a long way to go before it can compete with gas stations in a crisis, when people must evacuate a wildfire area (such as Canada, and California, have)

the Donnie Creek fire was the biggest fire ever recorded in British Columbia, Canada, history.

 All of Yellowknife evacuated. And you can't just strap a couple of jerry cans to the outside of our vehicle and go for it, because jerry cans don't help if you run out of charge. 

What the infrastructure of electric car chargers hadn't planned for, were fires.

And when evacuating, people use their cell phones a lot more, and can't get cell service, when antennas burn in wildfires. 

They suddenly need those phones and mobile internet, to find the nearest electric car chargers. 


thank you Terry!
