Hurricane season with Electric Vehicles​

Just wondering - Hurricane season with Electric Vehicles

Imagine Florida with a hurricane coming toward Miami.
The governor orders an evacuation. All cars head north.
They all need to be charged in Jacksonville.
How does that work.? Has anyone thought about this.
If all cars were electric and were caught up in a three-hour traffic jam with dead batteries, then what?
Not to mention that there's virtually no heating or air conditioning in an electric vehicle because of high battery consumption.
If you get stuck on the road all night, no battery, no heating, no windshield wipers, no radio, noGPS (all these drains the batteries), all you can do is try calling 911 to take women and children to safety. But they cannot come to help you because all roads are blocked, and they will probably require all police cars will be electric also. When the roads become unblocked no one can move! Their batteries are dead.
How do you charge the thousands of cars in the traffic jam? Same problem during summer vacation departures with miles of traffic jams. Yes, AAA is starting to prepare tow trucks to charge electric vehicles. How many can they charge before returning to home base and recharge the trucks?
There would be virtually no air conditioning in an electric vehicle.
It would drain the batteries quickly. Where is this electricity going to come from?
Today's grid barely handles users' needs.
Can't use nuclear, natural gas is quickly running out.
Oil fired is out of the question, then where?
What will be done with billions of dead batteries, can’t bury them in the soil, can’t go to landfills.
The cart is way ahead of the horse.
No thought whatsoever to handle any of the problems that batteries can cause.
The press doesn't want to talk or report on any of this.
RESISTANCE IS NOT FUTILE.

Electric vehicles are a joke!! When you look at the energy used to manufacture these cars you will see that they are NOT CHEAP at all. Child labour in Lithium mines are never spoken about.
The concept is great but reality paints a different picture. I certainly would not buy an electric car from a manufacturer because they are full of bugs and control systems that can really bite you on the arse. For example they are already talking about controlling your speed. So will they control where you go, stop your car from going outside a certain "district?" Who knows what is hidden in their electronics that will control your movements.
Technology is great but you also have to factor in the dark side and there certainly is one with electric vehicles.
What about them catching fire? It very difficult to put out a Lithium battery fire. Just imagine if your car catches fire while charging in your garage. You can potentially lose your house along the way.
