How well do electric cars do in bumper to bumper traffic like we see in the evacuations in Florida?

In: Technology

Answer 1

They do fine in theory. You don’t use energy running your engine idle.

Energy consumption that’s linear with time rather than distance travelled (like AC) will become more important (but can generally be reduced).

What’s most important: is your car fully charged when you start to evacuate?

Not scientific perse: in case of evacuation I’d rather have a car being able to do 1000km/refill and start with only 50% gas than an EV with 400km range and starting with only 50% charge.
