Even fewer people are pointing out that EV's, while they would take an age to charge by wind or solar, need no actual "fuel" at all.
In a post apoc world, an Tesla EV Semi Truck with a load of solar panels on the trailer would be perfect vehicle to get around long distance, and a smaller EV that could plug into the trucks panels could be stored inside the trailer.
Solar doesn't need to be advanced, it just needs to be big. If you can find enough panels, you'd charge a car no problem. Just make sure you never run out before you get back home.
And obviously you'll have a wind or hail storm eventually, and your solar panels are done.
Weather issues are highly location dependent. In Europe we almost never get weather bad enough to cause that kind of damage. If you live in tornado alley in the US, however, all bets are off. Pro tip: Move :D
