Electric vehicles promise quiet travel and fewer stops at the pump, but the story changes when the battery runs low miles from a charger. An electric vehicle failure on a remote stretch of highway creates a different kind of stranded. Drivers lose more than mobility—they lose options. No quick gas can, no simple jump.
