How many of use carry a spare gas (or diesel) can full of fuel as we travel on well travelled highways?

I do agree that for off road EV may not be a wise choice.

If by “off road” you mean rural vs urban, maybe.
It’s funny how the closed minds refuse to acknowledge that if one booked a new EV truck/suv to any sort of substantial trailer, there are many paved roads in both of our countries where it wouldn’t make it to the next charging station or at a bare minimum you’d be chasing charging stations and praying you made it there.

Well, you wouldn’t be “praying you would make it there”. You would know before you left wherever you are exactly what charge you would arrive with at your destination. If it says you can’t make it and you leave anyway then you are going to the wrong destination or have the wrong vehicle to get there. It’s not that hard. Right tool for the right job.

No, you’re exactly right. And in the populous areas of the country, bingo bango,you can fill up them depleted Duracells somehow every hundred miles when they go dead.
For those of us who travel in less populated areas I guess just keep that spare gas powered truck around for the big trips….

Edit:
How would I know exactly what charge I’d have? Is it like a DTE on normal vehicles?
Or is there some magic that happens in EVs that predict grades, winds, how much my mileage will drop based on knowing what I’m loading into it or towing?
What if I’m headin to Havre but decide to go to Chester because the fishin is better?

I was raised in Chinook , don't remember if there were charging stations there or not . :B Heading west thru Havre over towards Browning is where the good fishing is . Chinook to Browning is just shy of 200 miles ,then over to Mission Reservoir to fish should be okay ,as long as you charged back up in Browning , I'm sure they have plenty of charging stations . :R
