ICE cars had an advantage though: if you ran out of petrol, you could hitch to the closest garage, fill up a tank, and you were back in business.

With EVs it's always going to require a tow, which is a nightmare experience I don't recommend to anyone.

There are non tow options for evs. a ev can recharge another (non do this, but they could). Or a generator can be brought to the ev.
