They tell us the earth is getting warmer because of Global Warming and we need electric cars..

And now the power stations are frozen and they can't charge their cars

Kinda ironic...
Kinda funny
What's actually funny is how gullible so many climate change morons believe they're doing something to save the planet by buying an EV.
To me, that's hysterical!
And they DESERVE to be laughed at!

Maybe I should go out in the 350 dually and clear the road....we don't have a lot of guard rails here, so the trees will have to catch them.

         I live in South Florida and can picture the scenario because I've already seen it on a much smaller scale after one of our Hurricanes blows through and we experience widespread power outages.... 

          When the power goes down, you'd be amazed how **** fast these EV owners lose their enthusiasm for the Green Dream, and cuddle with their Fossil Fuel sucking Honda Generators that they didn't want the Gas guzzling neighbours to see... In fact, they burn far more Fuel because not only do they need the Generator to keep the Fridge, some lights, a portable Window A/C and a few Electronics going --- you now need an additional 7500 Watts of Power to get a level 2 Charge for your EV... And, if you're in a flood zone, you better get that EV to higher ground...  They are not a car for all conditions....

"you now need an additional 7500 Watts of Power to get a level 2 Charge for your EV."   Image  

With just a 7500 watt generator, you've got no reserve ampacity  to do anything else except charge your car..so let's look at what a 10,000 generator sells for..
I see one for about $900 and others of  that ampacity for as much as $4000
I get by just fine with a 3500 Watt  generator. It really "sips" the fuel..the biggest load being my 1500 watt  well pump motor and a 1500 watt toaster oven. 
A typical EV Owner wont be using his  massive 10,000 watt generator most of the time to charge up the car...instead  it will be guzzling gasoline just so HeSheIt can watch TV, heat up Tater Tots and play Black Ops Commando. 
What a waste..!

Ideally one would need a 25k whole house generator equipped to run on Natural Gas, Propane, Gasoline, Diesel, Solar, Wind, Coal and Uranium....making sure you don't forget one of these in case of emergency...

I had to buy a battery for my gas powered truck today. Cold air zapped the **** out of it
Look on the bright side, it didn’t cost you $20,000 like an EV battery.

So, when it's cold you can't charge your EV. And when it's hot you have to save electricity so you can't charge your EV. WTF
