If your car has gasoline backup it doesn't take a genius to know enough to carry a few gallons of gas in the tank.Up north when we get it with snow storms, you can find yourself stuck in traffic for hours, especially if there is a wreck ahead of you. Unless your electric car has gasoline backup, you can find yourself in real trouble. You need to keep the heat on and the defroster going. That takes little power in a gasoline car because you are only running the fan as it uses the engine heat for you to keep warm. I'm assuming that the electric vehicle would have to have a warming element of some kind which would suck all that electricity out of that battery in no time.
