There have been weather events and suchlike where it has been impossible to charge an EV, though gas was still available.

And I've been in weather events where I had electricity at home and yet all the gas stations around didn't have electricity to run their pumps.

You charge the EV before the weather event. Not during.

Then when the weather event comes, you still get electricity at home supplied by your car. If the weather event is localized, drive your car to a place with electricity and charge it there and drive back. It's the best.

My concern would be draining the fuel reserves in a vehicle to power my home reduces my mobility. It seems like mixing objectives and in an emergency, I want to keep my super spare backup if I needed to flee.

So you're worried about a weather emergency that takes out your power, followed a few days later by a second emergency that requires you to evacuate a long distance?

I don't think I'd do very much to prepare for that scenario.
