I always pondered which car I would take if SHTF, the IONIQ with my 3kW battery and solar panels, or the ICE (assuming both had full charge/tank). I think I'd take the IONIQ even though it has half the range and it would take forever to charge back up. But at least it would charge back up given enough time.

That is the Zombie Apocalypse. A lot of good playbooks written for that case.

As people discover, petrol stations (mostly) rely on the grid for pumping and/or selling fuel. So either way so either way its supply your own or go without.

Not really. You can always stick a hand pump into the storage tank and pump the fuel up into your car by hand. What you'll need most is cash to pay for the gas.

But where can you get the gas needed to drive to a store where you can get a hand pump?

Do they store bicycles at gas stations ready for the Zombie Apocalypse?
