They should add some AI to the controllers on all EVs that store enough juice and have the ability to pull off the road when a charge is depleted...!

They do. It is called limp mode.

That implies that a driver can "limp" to a charging station...NOT the same as getting the thing off the road before it is completely dead and a hindrance to traffic and safety...!

Sounds exactly the same as someone running out of gas on the side of the highway.

Hardly?...geeze...!
A gazillion times more likely that someone else has a gallon of gas or will get you enough to get to a gas station than there is with portable generators in their trunks...LoL...!

How the old paradigm misses misses the new one.
Seems like many more places in the world with a power outlet than a gasoline outlet.

But what level of charging?
On a standard 120V house plug 1 hour will give the EV Mustang 3 miles of range.
I would be looking for a gasoline outlet in an ICE vehicle.
1 in 5 electric vehicle owners in California switched back to gas because charging their cars is a hassle, research shows
Roughly 20% of electric vehicle owners in California replaced their cars with gas ones, a recent study shows.
