And ice cars tend to have a range of >400 miles, while many EVs will be under 200 miles on 70 mph motorway journeys in cooler weather.
Also, petrol/ diesel is treated as critical infrastructure - the army get called out if there are distribution issues. Charging networks are still just an assortment of private operators. It’s still possible to roll into a services off a main motorway and find that none of the chargers are working - so now you’re hoping that you can make the 25 miles to the next services. Maybe getting less common, but it’s the kind of thing that highlights the differences in how ice and EV are treated

I really don't get this; all cars, be it electric or fossil fuel, have a range limit. Why do old people worry about electric ones when they didn't consider this a problem at all with their current car?
