I mean... a thought experiment like "medical emergency in remote location" would seem a useful place to start.

I'm thinking about it.

Is it road-accessible? What kinds of vehicles can get there?

The cars in the article have twice as much range as a gas car or more, even in the cold. And it's easier to charge them at remote locations than to get fuel deliveries to those same remote locations.

I'm sure a scenario could be contrived where any type of car wins, but on average I expect a long range battery car to do quite well.
