A proper evacuation plan should maximize use of buses. One can have flooding almost anywhere. I understand in the Florida Keys there is only one main route north. Doesn't a Volt have an on board gas engine? The effective diameter of a hurricane is mapped and path is projected. A common passenger vehicle would have 350 - 400 miles range on a tankful at highway speeds. Creeping along at slow speed should extend that unless there is constant stopping and accelerating. There is no one size fits all solution for transportation anymore than there is one shoe size.
