If you're stuck using public infrastructure, EVs aren't for you.

Home charging is where it's at. You leave home practically every day with a full battery with about 20-30 seconds of effort every evening and morning.

Long distance EV trips depend on public charging infrastructure.

Public charging also can enable EVs to operate as power sources for homes to handle extended power outages (days, even weeks).

Sheesh, if there's a power outage you might have power from your home solar panels. Good luck getting it from the charger down the road.

It would depend on the extent of damage to the distribution lines.
Supercharger? I hate to be an Elon fanboy but a high amperage charger charges really quickly.
