''No cars are really going to last long in a grid-down scenario.'' Of course not! But some propulsion system would be a lot less grid dependent than others. Why I had decided against IC cars. Stored gasoline, about 6 months; stored diesel about a year. ''parts?'' EVs are a lot simpler to maintain than IC cars. Not only that, but the advances in batteries would also make EV batteries to last far longer than the current ones in the future. https://soj.ooo/p/tech/post/96b062dc69e1dbd9b355f85c5b1df4b4 ''tires?'' https://www.hankooktire.com/global/en/company/media-list/media-detail.627246.html https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DLuyLOL--QM ''let alone fuel.'' EVs can be charged through grid independent solar charging station. EV can be backed up by home installed solar/wind/hydro power charging stations depending on locations. Not dependent on grid. https://evbattery.us/can-you-charge-an-electric-car-with-solar-panels/#google_vignette ''it’s bicycles and horses'' Yes, but in after the implosion scenario, it will have to be the fat bike, not skinny bikes. Wwithout the constant on going road maintenances by the government, skinny bikes won't have a chance; riding a fat bike without em is going to be a pain. I actually thought about horses. The breed I was thinking is: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yakutian_horse They would come in real handy, in PNW, or any other northern/midwestern U.S.
