Many of us just can’t see spending the extra bucks 9and having others pay part of it via “government incentives”, and then dealing with the inconvenience of not being able to take a trip that only requires 10 minute rest/gas stops....if we get stuck and run out of gas, a trip to the nearest station and a gallon of gas in a can will have us back in business - if an EV gets stuck, it’s either a tow to a charging station or having a vehicle equipped with charging capabilities coming out and sitting long enough to get the juice to reach a charging station.

Running out of power on an EV takes a deliberate level of stupid. Most EVs include a mapping system that keeps you constantly informed of remaining distance and what chargers are in range; very easy to plan trips accordingly and know when you’re running out of options to go recharge.

Might be easier to refill a gas car that ran out, but these days of GPS and automated mapping you have no excuse for running out of power, whatever you drive.
