Yeah, but how do you power your EV during a blackout? :)
The same way you power your gasoline powered car in a blackout, you use what's left in the "tank" to either ride out the blackout or drive to where you can refuel. Few gas stations (at least around where I live) have backup generators.
The difference being that I'll almost always have a near full charge in my EV since I'd charge every night, while my gas tank might only be 1/4 full since I only go to the gas station when it's closer to empty.
Actually I was being kind of tongue in cheek, but if the blackout was a couple days or more, and you used your EV to power your house, what do you do when the EV is out of power? I usually keep a 5 gallon gas can around, but that type of thing might not work with an EV.
