I've never ran out of fuel and anytime I've got close was because I was being stupid when younger. You know though if you make it to a garage that 99.99% of the time the pumps will be working and they have fuel. If they don't, you likely pulled in on red, still have maybe another 50 miles so plenty of range to get to another fuel station.Oh I've got a couple of horror stories when it comes to charging at places which were supposed to have working chargers, but they both happened relatively early on in my EV-owning timeline and you live and learn. I did. I also have plenty of stories I could tell you of almost running out of petrol in my ICE days. It happens but as long as you have a contingency of some sort you get through it.
There are portable DC charge packs around which you might want to look at. A bit like having a 1 gallon petrol can in the boot, but not as smelly.
Or maybe a roof-mounted wind generator to top up as you go?
I know EV's will get there and you know I will have 2 and no ICE at all soon so I don't need convincing to convert. I am merely saying I accept the benefits outway the limitations and this is one of the limitations no matter which way people swing it. It's a step backwards from what we were used to.
Those batteries are super big ans heavy. Frankly if you wanted aome emergency solutuion a diesel generator would be the far cheaper, lighter and more energy dense option. Assuming it's only for an emergency the climate impact is minimal as you hopefully wouldnt ever use it. Hence alao why i couldn't really justify buying one that I'd hopefully never use.
Would that be a perpetual motion solution you've just thought up there? A wind generator on the roof and then as you drive you can generate the energy back and store into the battery. Add that it'll spin when stopped at lights, in traffic and parked up. Slap a few solar panels on for good measure, maybe never need to charge any other way again
Be a bit of a pain getting into a multistory carpark though with a wind turbine on the roof
