PG&E makes electric-only a little scary. I'll keep 1 EV and 1 ICE car rather than going 2 EVs due to them

  Depending on how much you drive a day, a propane powered generator pack for a few thousand bucks (chinesium ones start at ~1000 $ [1]) in your shed should be enough to charge during the night and keep your home powered as well, and unlike gas/diesel, propane doesn't go bad during storage.

    Why not skip it and drive an LPG-powered vehicle instead?

      Because you'll only need the grid backup like, what, a week or two in the worst case every two or three years? A LPG-powered vehicle will incur all the typical ICE vehicle costs during these three years.

      Good luck filling it on a road trip! Besides, home charging is such a game changer that using a non-traditonal fuel is just a waste of time.
