One discussion that frequently comes up after a storm like Ida (or other natural disaster) is how EV owners handle widespread and protracted power outages.
While power outages affect gas powered cars, there are some gas stations that use generators to keep the pumps going (for a limited time) or you can travel outside of the direct impact area of the storm and you will be able to find some operational gas station.
Is the solution for EV owners to plan for Solar power and battery storage for their homes as well ?
Will Rivian invest in building superChargers that are Solar powered similarly to Tesla's plans?

P.s. I noticed that there is at least one company working on a solar bed cover. I doubt that it is viable this is right now, but I know that solar panels are getting more efficient, so hopefully this becomes useful in the future.
