I imagine any factory builder would take this into account and construct enough onsite power generation to maintain full operation during outages.


A car assembly plant can pull up to 100 MVA, that is 100,000 kva or roughly 1,000,000 amps at household current. That isn't going to come from a few honda backup generators. Such power would require either a few hundred acres of solar panels attached to battery the side of a small nation, or an on-site combustion plant.
