I don't have an electric car. Almost every gas station in my county was also closed. Nearest one open was ten miles from me. I gassed up before the power was cut off. You need electricity to pump gas. I suppose you could have a generator that could charge an electric car, just like a gas station would have to have generators to pump the gas if they want to stay open. Several grocery stores and a few restaurants stayed open on generator power.
The whole electric car thing has not caught on at all in my county. There is only one public charging station here.
Tesla does have some charging stations that operate on solar power.
