The first that pops up in my mind is a car rental. The disadvantage is purely pride, I guess. Why buy a new electric car and then rent an ICE car? This is definitely a viable option, but something in my mind keeps pushing me away from the idea. If there were some 15kW-20kW super low emissions engine for cheap I could just strap on and go that would make my day...

I agree that range anxiety, lack of range extenders and the associated hassles that result from having an EV with a shortish range are real,problems for some of us that don't live in the city.
There is no real answer, but hiring a car for infrequent trips is attractive because you avoid the standing costs and maintenance risk.
