Getting stranded because you ran out of electric charge is exactly the same as getting stranded because you ran out of fuel too far from a gas station; it boils down to poor planning on your part. If I were going to take a trip that had an indeterminate length, I would drive our gasoline vehicle, but only because it is currently easier to find a gas station with a parity price for filling.
There are hundreds of electric charging stations anywhere I want to go, but many of them vary in price wildly, and all of them seem to want you to have their particular app and/or card, which makes them incredibly undesirable. nOt HaViNg ThE iNfRaStRuCtUrE for charging everywhere is a non-issue, having a plethora of garbage companies trying to charge 8x what electricity costs is.
