Not really. You can count on a gas pump existing within some distance of a sparse population. You'd be surprised how hard it is to find an outdoor "public" power outlet when you need one.

Not to mention that just about every offroading trip I've been on, everyone brings at least one NATO jerry can, just in case. Can't really bring an "extra battery" along with you when it comes to electric trucks.
