This just goes to show what I have been saying all along, the gasoline infrastructure is pretty fragile. I was usually thinking more along the lines of gas stations closing down due to high prices of oil and then gas stations going bust. Though it seems due to the high priority on getting electricity back it's usefull in a disaster as well.
As a matter of fact, if there's no electricity there's no gasoline either. Gas stations use electric pumps. During the Northeast Blackout of 2003 it was impossible to fill up your car.
but with your PV-panels on your roof, you can charge even during a blackout I guess! ;-)
Difficult doing that with an ICE!!!
.The ActiveE provides nearly 100 miles on a single charge. To add a few insurance miles for the commute, Mr. Moloughney is also charging his electric Bimmer overnight with a 110-volt outlet at home, which has a natural-gas generator. A 240-volt charger adds about 25 miles of driving range per hour, while the 110-volt feed only supplies about 4 miles of range per hour
His black Tesla Roaster is parked outside
Another bright spot on the horizon comes from Tesla which recently built six solar-powered supercharging stations in California that are compatible with its own cars. According to company, the stations generate more power from solar energy over a year than Tesla owners consume, feeding the excess into the grid, although also relying on it during times of heavy usage.[/QUOTE

Nissan Leaf as a full-home generator
The Nissan Leaf electric vehicle could be the generator you forgot to buy. A pilot project in Japan, called Leaf-to-Home, takes the 24kW stored in the Leaf’s lithium-ion battery, and distributes it to the house as 120V current through a Nissan power control system (PCS).
