Curious, Could you pull out your camping solar panels cells and charge you EV, or charge a spare battery and use that to charge your EV?
Wouldn't be able to provide the same amount of oomph as your wall sockets for sure, but could get you out of trouble?

Possibly, but you might just be piiising against the wind.
And anyone who has an ev without home/work place solar is a bit like someone who would buy a brand new car with no intention of obtaining a license.
Why pay retail for electricity when you can make it yourself ?
The bigger problem at the moment is that battery costs are still high but falling so peoples solar set ups are still grid tied (exporting excess) but when the grid goes down so does your home, if you have a battery to feed into that is still available in an outage.
My understanding is that most ev have two batteries, a traction battery for the motor and a "house" battery for the other stuff.
I find it difficult to believe that any ev could run down to 0% thats what their BMS are designed to prevent.
