This is the point my EV-skeptical relatives don't get.

"What are you going to do if the battery runs out in the middle of nowhere?" they ask.

"The same thing you will do if you run out of gas in the middle of nowhere: Call a tow truck." I reply.

I cannot get them to understand that they're asking the wrong question. The right question is "How do you ensure that you won't unexpectedly run out of energy?"

They don't run out of gas in the middle of nowhere because gas stations are everywhere. I don't run out of energy because the car does an exquisite job of tracking and predicting energy usage, as well as helping me find charging locations. It's an alternative (and IMO better) solution to the problem of running out of energy, but too many ICE drivers cannot conceive that there even could be another solution than "gas stations everywhere."
