I have also been through many hurricanes. A point you're missing is that places like a gas stations are prioritized to getting power back on over a place like your house. In one large hurricane as a kid, my house didn't get power back for almost a month.

With that said, many places on the coast have improved a lot by building power lines underground. We never even lost power in the last storm I went through a few years ago.

This is a good point. Do electric charging stations get the same prioritization, do you know?

Probably not, but seems like they would as more people begin to own electric cars. Charging stations also tend to be on main thoroughfares, which tend to get power back before neighborhoods.
