so what happens when you miscalculate, are out in the middle of nowhere without a recharging station in sight? (I’m talking about the purely electric cars- not hybrids)

There are likely goign to be many long distance trips where folks are way out in the boonies- and no chargers in sight-

Plan B I guess.

Plan C might be like one of the battery jumpers that don't need a separate battery to jump start with but do need recharging. That's extra weight though and will affect range just like a little generator and gas to run it.

Same thing that does now....you call AAA.

Instead of a tow truck with jumper cables, you get a truck with a generator, or, for an all-electric solution, a BIG honking battery to give enough recharge to get to a standard charging station.
