    EV design right now is just about the worst thing if you want to survive an apocalypse. Those things are practically impossible to repair. Disposable cars that depreciate rapidly.

    A post apocalyptic EV is gonna be some scrapped together dune buggy powered by lead acid batteries and a simple DC motor. It will be lucky to get 40 miles of range, rather than 400, but that’s okay because there won’t be any roads left.

    Why lead acid batteries? Because you can rebuild them with minimal tools.
