Long distance EV trips depend on public charging infrastructure.

Public charging also can enable EVs to operate as power sources for homes to handle extended power outages (days, even weeks).

> extended power outages

Sheesh, if there's a power outage you might have power from your home solar panels. Good luck getting it from the charger down the road.

It would depend on the extent of damage to the distribution lines.
