While I am not a full "prepper" at this point I am rather self-sufficient and prepared if the shit truly goes down.
Electric vehicles never made sense for the industry that I am involved in and unfortunately one of the main reasons why I never considered an EV for my own personal use is because of how quickly the entire concept became political. It started to seem like a cult rather than a cost-effective option or even one that was going to do any good for the environment. The rather extreme URGENCY in how the people I perceive to be a bit nuts portrayed the transition to EV and the protesters annoying tactics actually encouraged me to go the other way just out of spite. Plus they don't make huge pickup truck EV's so that was a game over for me.
