Probably a drug dealer.

My lib ass sister (who I still love) is thinking of getting a Telsa but doesn't know if she can get a charger station installed at her place. I was like, sis, just run a cable out of the kitchen window like my man down the street!

Gas vs electric has pretty similar range these days, and most people are going to keep their car "topped up" with charge every night at home vs going to a gas station when you're empty. If there is a natural disaster and the power's off, how are you getting gas out of the underground fuel tanks?

In the case of societal collapse, an EV can charge with a solar setup for years, who's delivering your fuel?
