Are you sure it is an electric car? From the picture it seems like a normal small car to me. Maybe his alternator is bad and he is charging the battery with the generator when the car dies. He would have very little choice in where to pull over in that case.

It looks like he has enough room to just pull straight back out on the road either way without backing onto the road. There is lots of room behind him to back up on the side of the road if needed and pull back out normally. It is a little car so it is easy to turn around in tight spots.
