>if roadside assistance can reach you to deliver gas, they can also reach you to tow you to a charging station.
That's a little bit of a stretch. You can walk a 5gal tank all sorts of places roadside assistance won't go, though that's largely a reflection of corporate policy than physical inability.
Also it's way harder to get someone to give you a charge if you run out due to circumstance in the middle of nowhere whereas pretty much anyone will give you a gallon of fuel if you're truly out.
