No, you definitely cannot push start a car in 5 seconds everytime. You cant push start a car if you're on an uneven surface which you probably will be while travelling across country.

You also can't depend on it if you need a quick getaway. The characters wanting a battery before attempting a cross country trip in a world where roads and infrastructure are damaged at best makes perfect sense. Also the idea that a single adult could push start a car, fully loaded with supplies for a cross country trip, on their own reliably is just silly.

Yeah..I'm not arguing with you. If you don't see any issue with trying to push start a car in thick mud or an uneven surface when in a hurry that's fine. In the context of the show though the characters were in no rush and it makes sense that they would rather have a battery if possible, which they believed it was at the time.
