A Florida congressman has issued a warning about electric vehicles (EVs) in the wake of an approaching hurricane, cautioning drivers to avoid relying on them during power outages. The official highlighted potential risks to EV owners, including stranded vehicles if charging stations lose power and limited battery range in emergency situations. Authorities are advising residents to prepare alternative transportation plans and ensure traditional vehicles remain fueled and operational. The warning underscores broader concerns about infrastructure resilience in the face of severe weather events.
