How do you refuel ICEs in harsh environments? Someone has to drive the huge tanker full of fuel over there a bunch of times a week, right? What if there's a some kind of weather event and the roads are unavailable for two weeks, how does the Land Cruiser get refueled then?

With EVs people in remote locations can have local infrastructure to generate what they need locally.

You can carry gas tanks with you on long desert crossing trips, and refuel in minutes. How are you going to do that with an EV? Not to mention that the high heat (45+ C) might take a toll on the range of batteries.

I can grab a generator and jerrycans full of diesel =)

But seriously, if you're doing a bunch of long desert crossing trips it's a good idea to keep using an ICE.
