Sorry, I didn’t read that close enough. An extended power outage could cause a problem, if a lot of people with EVs needed to drive a lot. (but gas pumps need power too I think)

For me, it’s hard to imagine the combination of the power being out _and_ needing to drive over 200 miles. We usually just hunker down and wait for it to come back on.
