You kidding me? I'll let a rando drive my Prius if they want to swap for their BMW i3, Tesla, Spark...

The nearest place I could rent a vehicle is about 15 miles.

Yeah, there are tons of reason why an EV is a poor choice for some people. Mostly, they cost too much. After that, it's access to charging. Even people with garages tend to store crap in them instead of their vehicles. A distant 3rd reason that might make an EV a poor purchase is the hassle that long distance trips might present, especially if they are frequent.
My point isn't that range isn't a concern, it's that it's a very minor one when compared to the other 2 big reasons preventing people from owning them.
