Arguing for the car as a good method of transportation is like arguing that having personal diesel generator to power you home is a good idea

my actual problem with them personally is my country tariffs the shit out of them making them much more expensive, and my city is very vertical, making it hard to use them.
ICE is usable on a blackout, and i’m considering it, but what i actually want is to cut off dependency on oil companies and the shitty privatized electric grid i’m forced to use.
I also don’t like the fact that it’s a mechanical device that will just sit there until needed. Is it going to be in good working order when the time comes? If I haven’t kept up on the maintenance and testing, maybe, maybe not.
Solar panels sit on the roof and you watch the graph rise and fall throughout the day. You should wash them about once a year, but they’ll still do an OK job if you don’t. That’s pretty much it.
