And what did Texans with gas cars do? If the answer is they sat in their warm cars then you'll be interested in the tests that show an EV can keep a heater running as long, if not longer, than an ICE.
If the same thing happened today a bidirectional charger would enable the EV to power the house for two or more days. This is not available for all models yet and is more expensive than a traditional charger but it is an EV option that does not exist for a gas car.

If you look at the Texas news today, EV owners are having problems in the Texas cold (which is a lot warmer than Chicago), Austin, Houston, etc.

Can't find anything like this at all. Do you have links to the articles or the search phrase for google? Using "Texas EV cold" and "Texas EV" finds nothing other than more references to the same two articles from the Chicago area.
