My experience with power outages (after big summer storms, not a hurricane thank goodness) has been that my neighborhood is impacted, but that places nearby have power. They tend to restore commercial first, so the supercharger near me is up and running before my house.

If the power is down to the charging station the chargers don't work, this is just as likely as the power being down at the gas station

And are regularly rotating that stockpile, because gasoline has a shelf life measured in months

In places where long power outages are common (hurricane areas), many gas stations have their own generators (they also have a convenient source of fuel to run them!)
