I can't see a situation in an apocalypse where gasoline isn't consumed immediately, and then rationed to only government authorities. My bet would be 100% EV, and if you want redundancy, buy a generator capable of outputting to an inverter that charges the EV (then stockpile a reasonable amount of fuel for the generator).


Or just get an ICE car and stockpile the fuel.. Way fewer steps required.


gasoline has a shelf life of 3 to 6 months. and diesel 12 months in low temps.

might want a battery EV with ability to plug deployable solar module amd/or hydropower module and/or wood burning stove thermoelectric generator.


If you have a truly off-grid capable EV with solar, that would be superior to an ICE (assuming rule-of-law still held).
