Yeah. But I can still fill an ICE car manually with a can or hand pump.

Also hurricane evacuation with mass electric adoption is going to be an interesting situation to observe. It may be better than with an ICE. We’ll see.

Perhaps, but how many gas stations are going to let you pay cash and use a hand pump? And do you keep spare gas in cans ready, before the outage?

I've never spent enough time in Texas to experience an outage, maybe Texas gas stations are far different than the rest of the US?

A lot of folks keep a 5 gallon for their lawn mower… although gas powered mowers are going the way of the dinosaur too

But yes, I tend to keep 2-4 5 gallon containers of 4 stroke gas. I’m almost certainly an outlier, but in more rural areas where you have to be self sufficient it’s not rare.

Heck, a lot of pickup trucks have diesel tanks with 12v pumps built into the bed.

I'm pretty sure you can pay cash in most gas stations. You just have to pay to the clerk, instead of at the pump.
