Put up as many as you want - you are not driving further than half of your factory capacity allows. And it will deteriorate in time. As much as I can't refine oil at home, you cannot make replacements for your EV infra. Solar or diesel/oil stockpile, 5-10 years max I'd say.
What would work long term are horses. Nobody can maintain cars if industry and modern manufacturing is no more.
EVs are great toys for the hood, but if shit hits the fan you are not overloading it with your family and stuff, and escaping anywhere.

Exactly though. In a long term shelter in place, why run away from my stockpile?, I have half range of my EV for 30 years of output from my solar panels.
Note that 30 years is the guaranteed time for 90% of brand new output from the panels, go look at Silfab's warranty. With care I have fridge and freezer and even some heat from that in addition to short range car trips.

EVs would never survive 30 years without the industry. Get a horse just in case 😉
You have no clue what goes into keeping a gas car on the road if you think EVs are long term unreliable by comparison. We don't need every bell and whistle. Goes, stops, turns. Best case scenario you need a massive stock pile of brake pads, oil, and filters in addition to your fuel with is hydrophilic and will go bad in 5 years no matter how much you stockpile.
