You're right that for the times you need long distance you'd have to have some other vehicle. I don't know if a cheap second car is practical for this or renting something for a long trip. I also don't suspect that it would be needed once or twice a month. I would think it would be much less than that, but I don't have any real data to back up that suspicion. However rather than saying something like this, they exaggerate the situation and act as if you are unable to drive the EV anywhere without unwittingly running out of fuel. That in conjunction with the similar unwarranted bashing they did on Tesla makes people think they have something against EVs. There are legitimate criticisms they could make, it isn't necessary to fabricate stories or lie about what the cars can do.
