EVs and The Bug Out

I don't think you are far behind with the 1/4 acre of panels to run that pump. Probably more. The problem is, even if you could deploy them and they charged fast enough to be useful, you are in the middle of a forest fire and the smoke is likely blocking out the sun. The Illuminati will eventually recognize that these transportation and support vehicles aren't going to work as EV's until there is an order of magnitude leap in technology, and I think that's a ways off. Farming is another area of concern. Forget the acquisition costs, a harvester combine runs nearly 24 hours a day for 2-3 weeks straight during the picking season and tractors do same in the planting season. Think they are going to be able to swap humongus batteries in the field every couple hours?
Agreed. There are certain vehicles and applications where it just doesn't make sense.
