Emergency vehicles are the kind of vehicles I don't really want electric yet. Power goes out when there are emergencies, and then what? They break out a bunch of beater crown vics?

Also inevitably lithium packs are the last thing I want to bring more of to an emergency.. imagine bringing more lithium to a California wildfire when most fire depts struggle to extinguish packs in the most favourable conditions.

Modern gas pumps don't work without electricity, but batteries and generators can still charge electric cars.

Most cities have their own pumps at the maintenance yard, and they can run on generators

Which can unironically also recharge electric vehicles.

They really can't. The power requirements are just not in the same league.

Sure, both systems work equally well in an extended power failure
