I just had a thought today. However, before I tell you what it is, let me explain a little. I mean, how am I going to keep your attention if I just blurt it out up front. Where is the suspense in that?

I now know that as long as I have access to 110 volts at 12 amps, I have access to power for my car. I plugged it in about 1 1/2 weeks ago and I plugged it in again last night. After about 14 hours, the car was almost charged back up to 80%. Now that’s not bad.

Naturally, if I can access 240 volts, all the better. In some cases, I can get access to to a full level 3 charge station free of charge (I know. Dumb pun). At any rate, should things really go south, so-to-speak, I still have transportation if I can find somewhere to plug in my car.

I started looking on the internet and I have realized, for a price, I can bring my electricity will me. Granted, it is a big price, but it is possible. First I get a solid state generator, about $1200. It would have the ability to store a substantial amount of electricity. They are able to supply 2200 watts for quite a while. Sorry, don’t know how long. I tried to find out but they apparently don’t like providing that specification over the internet. At least I couldn’t find it. However, assuming 10 hours, that’s likely enough to keep my car running for a few more hours… 60 or 70 miles. Maybe more.

The next trick is charging the generator. That’s where the solar batteries come in. It said I can also use wind mills. As per the ad, almost anything. There was even the thought of charging it with a pedal driven generator.

So, her I am. Because some sort of disaster, this little old prepper me, somewhere out in the desert or mountains. I have one little generator being recharged with the ten solar batteries. Another one is being charged by a windmill. And of course, I need to stay in shape anyway. So I’m pedaling like crazy to recharge the third generator.

Then after using the three of them to recharge the car’s batteries, I will be able to drive, maybe another hundred miles, to where I don’t really know.

At any rate, I have decided that my electric car has permitted me to be one step closer to being fully prepared for the next doomsday. And, with Old Joe running things, I just might need it. At least I will not be faced with those ridiculous drive throughs anymore. Also, if I am out in the woods by myself, with no one else around me, there will be no one around to tell me to wear a face-mask.
