Probably a bummer to pull into a charging station and not be able to charge an EV.

...or gas up the ice powered rig because the gas station is without electricity.

Of course, it would be a bummer to pull into a gas station and the electricity powered gas pumps are dead..

Probably a bummer to pull into a charging station and not be able to charge an EV.

This is one of the reasons my wife and I have both a BEV car (BEV = fully electric EV, not a hybrid) and a gas pickup. That way not all of our transportation eggs are in one basket.

Because we live in the south where we get lots of sun, we have tons of decentralized solar ("decentralized" means that I manage it for my use, not some bureaucrat managing solar farms for the grid). I can't produce my own gasoline for my gas truck, nor can I produce natural gas for the home. But I can produce my own power for my EV and my home. We do most of our driving in the EV so that we're less dependent on the over-regulated energy market. And if we want to take a long trip, we can pick which car is best (i.e. few fast chargers or threat of power blackouts take the gas pickup, or sky high gas prices or every now and then gas shortage then take the EV).

This kind of plan doesn't work for everybody. There's plenty of research to do on if your driving habits and energy consumption habits and climate fit to make this kind of system feasible. But if you're one of the ones that can pull this off feasibly, it's a nice place to be in to not have to worry about the left's global warmageddon cult energy policies keep changing and making energy more expensive and less dependable.

Gas pumps run on electricity too. Pretty rare to find hand pumped gas now.
