What is that thing? Why is that thing? It looks like the vehicles from Aliens. On the windshield, there's a decal that reads "Apocalypse 6x6."

The rugged individualist of the gated community.
If society collapses, if sure his survival instincts will kick in and he will try to buy something else.
If society collapses where is the gas for that thing coming from? Wouldn't an electric car and some solar panels be an objectively better apocalypse vehicle?
Yes, exactly. You need a stable society to run oil refineries and distribute the gasoline to every community. Portable solar panels may be a trickle of energy, but it's still something to juice up an EV that only requires sun. Some EV can also power an extension cord, so they're a mobile back up battery.
So much this!
If you've got an electric vehicle you can charge it with anything really.
Solar panels, hydro, wind, a generator, etc
The perfect apocalypse vehicle load out IMO is an electric car (perhaps even an electric van/box truck), electric dual sport motorcycle, and a bicycle.
Kind of, but not really. There are specific requirements in order to charge, not hard to meet on grid, but can be difficult in a homemade setup
Yeah high enough voltage/current is tough unless you have a decent off grid capable home solar setup.
Most home solar inverters turn off when the grid loses power so they don’t backfeed electricity and kill any linemen.
Chevy Volt. Runs full electric until it's out, then uses gas. the only real problem is the 40 mile electric range.
