Well, I know everybody likes to make fun of Buttboy, but let’s look at it objectively.
Let’s take the specific case of this hurricane.
You know it’s coming, you have an electric car and so you make sure it’s fully charged.
The storm comes and power goes out. Your car holds 90kwh of energy (typical nowdays). On average a house uses about 24 kwh per day. That would give you roughly 3 days of power.
Of course that also means your travel is rather restricted. So you’re trading transportation for power in the house.
How does that compare if you had a regular car with a full tank of gas?
A tankful of gas would produce roughly the same amount of electricity with a generator as that battery, so in a sense it’s a wash.
As to whether you have more transportation flexibility depends on how widespread the power outage is and how that affects the gas stations.
In either case it’s not a bad idea to have a generator and a few full gas tanks, or better yet one that runs on natural gas since it’s the least likely source to be affected.
Technical question: Are EV's built to run power back into a home breaker box? During a power outage here, someone showed me how to back-feed a generator into my home circuit (it kept tripping the ground wire, until I cut it)
