The thing about not having sufficient range to reach your destination as you leave home in an ICE, is that at most it sets you back 5 minutes. In my case, it sets me back 2.
Maybe I depart to Eugene and realize I don't have enough fuel, so my trip extends from 80 minutes to 85 minutes. I don't even need to notify the customer I'm running behind.
Leave in a solar powered car without sufficient range, and we're talking 20 minutes minimum. Now I'm nearly half an hour behind.
Few will be willing to make that compromise. Retired folk might have the time to spare, but then they are also least likely to adopt new technology and new routines.
