Not permitted in other countries for a whole list of safety issues. Only good in a zombie Apocalypse, or to drive into crowds with the intention to murder as many people as possible.

good in a zombie Apocalypse

...as a makeshift barricade when it inevitably runs out of juice. Perhaps as an explosive trap. You could strip it for parts and resources. But for transportation? Fuck no. A vehicle is only as reliable as its source of fuel. Keeping the electric grid alive would be impossible in a fallen society.

If you want reliable mobility in a zombie apocalypse, get on a bike.

I'd say with the abundance of solar panels today, charging EV's wouldn't be that problematic. Gasoline would be hard to get. Bio diesel would be a good alternative but im not sure new vehicles would play nice with it so like pre 2000s diesels would be good. Wood gas is an option but again, would it work on modern cars? EV's seem the easiest to fuel to me in a complete apocalypse. Thoughts?

Or an ebike and get some foldable solar panels and a second battery.

"Alright, listen up folks. We've finally managed to wall off the area against creepers, and we finally got the old generator working. However, electricity will still be restricted until further notice, because Jerry needs the full output to recharge his Cybertruck™ to avoid battery damage."
