Because the electric grid is not that great in parts of Michigan, I and others have looked into Generac type alternative power sources when the power goes away after a storm.

The better ones run on natural gas vs a propane tank.

With the right hook-ups the only charges you are paying for is the cost of the natural gas. Some web info says for the summer that might be slightly over $1.00 per day.
Therefore your gas usage to your generac usage to your electric vehicle might be quite a bit lower vs the gas pumps.
$5.00+ per gallon of fuel. Food for thought.
