> But that's not that different from driving a petrol car
Of course it is! I can go pretty much anywhere in the CONUS and not have to worry about running out of gas because gas stations are everywhere. In the few cases where they aren't, there are usually clear indications, e.g., "next gas station 50 miles ahead" signs. Or if I'm that concerned, I can take a 5 gallon can full of gas with me.
> you are stuck in the middle of nowhere with no easy way to fix it
I've stopped to give people rides to the gas station (where you can rent/borrow a gas can) when they ran out. Probably won't be feasible with electric for quite some time.
Sure, people should plan their trips, but please don't make a false equivalence between gas & electric in this regard.
