Can't you just... drive to a charging station? I mean, it's not like the whole continent lost power for three days. Just go fill up and come back and park it at home.

Note that with a gas car, you can't fill it up at home ever, for any reason (unless you have a well and refinery I guess).

Or a drum of gasoline and a hand pump which is very practical. If you live anywhere where outages and natural disaster are a thing, it's good to plan ahead.
