You can carry gas tanks with you on long desert crossing trips, and refuel in minutes. How are you going to do that with an EV? Not to mention that the high heat (45+ C) might take a toll on the range of batteries.

I can grab a generator and jerrycans full of diesel =)

But seriously, if you're doing a bunch of long desert crossing trips it's a good idea to keep using an ICE.
