John Phillips: Hey, kids, time to be afraid!

The writer of this story highlights one driver of a BMW ActiveE that has stayed mobile, but only because his house is equipped with a natural gas-fueled emergency generator. For the vast majority of people that don't have a whole house generator handy, an EV would be no more useful than a car with an empty gas tank when the power is out. The same lack of electricity that prevents stations from pumping liquid fuel, would strand an EV.
Also while an EV could provide some emergency power for a few home appliances they wouldn't be able to do it for very long.

Long before the brilliant storytellers at Pixar made a few amazing computer animated shorts followed by Toy Story, the operation began as a digital imaging operation within LucasFilm. It was eventually spun off and sold to Steve Jobs before going on to reinvent animated movies. Disney eventually bought Pixar from Jobs in 2006. Now the whole gang is back together.
