Is because, when they short the power grid -- and blame it on terrorism, solar flares, whatever -- they will achieve maximum damage and control.

Mark my words, the grid will go down in our lifetime. For how long is anyone's guess.

Yes, also -

With gasoline, someone can fill up a jerrycan, slip tank, or skid tank and have fuel to use whenever they want. Or someone can buy gasoline, and give or sell it to me.

With electric, it's hundred's of times more difficult to store it.

Someone with good social credit can fill up their vehicle with gas, and then siphon it into my vehicle, and no one would find out. But with electric, even if you can transfer a charge from one vehicle to the next, they'll know how many miles a car travelled between charges. So they'll know if you siphoned power off of it.

You could always carry a gas powered generator around in the trunk lol

Fun fact -

They have big diesel engines that power electric motors. There is no mechanical connection between the diesel engine and the wheels. Therefore, they are electric trains. - Most people don't know this, but it is in fact true.

That's interesting. I knew they ran turbines but somehow never considered the implications of that. Thanks.
