If you're actually in a hurry, you can always fill up an ICE car in a couple minutes whereas the EV, not so much.
For example, we had to evacuate during the California wildfires a few years back. The EV wasn't full and didn't have enough range to get to a useful destination, so we left it behind. Luckily we're privileged to have many cars, so we took two of the ICE cars. One was near empty, so we filled it in under 5 minutes and were on our way.
But occasionally we think: imagine if we'd only had the EV and no way to get out ASAP?
(Fortunately nothing happened and the house and EV survived fine. But many others nearby weren't so lucky.)
