I wouldn’t want my vehicle to be drained of energy as an event like those started

In the long run there would be ideally thousands of EVs and home batteries working together, such that no particular battery would be drained but contributes a little to the whole. But individuals could make their own tradeoffs on this, if they prefer making more money over the risk of draining their batteries (as prices are likely to be extremely high during shortages, assuming the individual is exposed to the wholesale market). Ideally, these tradeoffs could easily be controlled by a non-technical user and fully automated, but it's still early days.
