How many times in the last 5 years have you had no power overnight?
If you live in the snowbelt, how many times a year is it acceptable to not drive to work during a snowstorm?
How many times in the last 5 years has your car broken down or needed to go to the shop? I bet it's more times than you haven't had power overnight....
Did you find an alternative to get to work or wherever you were going? Probably so. You can carpool, telecommute, take an uber, take a cab, take transit, take the day off, drive to a supercharger and have a delayed arrival, ask your neighbor for a ride, etc.
Basically, you have a legit excuse if there was a power outage and you have an EV. It's like being afraid of email because you may lose internet access. Yeah, that could happen, but it's not a huge deal and there are usually alternatives.
