If you have a Genesis /Kia/Hyundai EV built on thr EGMP platform like the Gv60, Ioniq 5, EV6, you can use the vehicle to load (V2l) to power appliances in your home. Very convenient and better than a generator. This was mentioned in the video but I wanted to mention these vehicles as they have this feature.
The problem with EVs when they get flooded is that they get really really damaged and totaled, as opposed to gas cars which get really damaged and totaled.
Nice thorough coverage of needs during an evacuation, as I have relatives in the Tampa area with Hurricane Milton bearing down on them. All good advice here.
Point #10: you don't need to pay for flood insurance when you park your ev in your garage and it catches on fire during a flood and burns your house down. 😊
Salt water flooding is probably the worst situation for an EV. Plenty of examples of teslas catching fire after hurricane flooding… something that needs to be addressed ASAP
Good video. Interestingly, when talking about water fording, you kind of forgot to mention the Rivian EV, which has the highest water fording of any production vehicle in the world. 43 in. No bad. Also Ford and other EV vehicles have power to home features already. It seems you are talking just about teslas, which is not accurate for the title of the video
A model x caught on fire because of the salt content in the water making the water salty, making the battery short circut and make the house catch on fire along with destroying the model x itself. Im not sure if you mentioned this but yeah.

Such a great feature on them! I should have highlighted them better in the video.
@@teslasincanada MG also has it in many models!

That gave me a good laugh
I’ve seen teslas driving through 5 ft of water unphased
@@AlbertAllegrothey definitely can handle a lot more since they have no engine that fills with water and cuts out.

Not cool that Milton is coming in to affect the area right after Helene! Hopefully this video helps at least one person!

Super duper rare that would ever happen.

Appreciate the comment! I will definitely take all that into consideration for future videos :) Also I can’t believe I missed talking about the Rivian
This is a great video. I’m sure this is info people don’t think about before buying. It also makes me wonder why HQ is in Texas. 😊
Thanks!
Let me know if I missed anything?
@@teslasincanada Thank you for this video. I think it really clarifies things for people who have questions on EVs.
@@Yubuzka3774 my pleasure! Hope that it helps ease some people’s concerns

The best solution is having a Tesla charged with a generator 😅
You can't store large amounts of electricity. You can store large amounts of diesel.
