These are the vehicles to have in the Apocalypse. Carry your own solar panels and charge it. No need to get fuel since gasoline only stays fresh for 6 months.

    EV's are probably best for an actually realistic scenario where energy infrastructure is destroyed or there is a mass fuel shortage, both things that happen all the time around the world in times of crisis.

    But as far as actually apocalyptic scenarios it's hard to beat a bicycle which doesn't require a global supply chain to maintain.
