This stranded scenario is a such solution in search of a problem. The charge rate is slower than walking speed, and 5-10 miles is an easy walk (likely preferable to spending whole day roasting in a car without A/C).
Besides, EVs don't suddenly run out of battery like you imagine. Batteries display state of charge very accurately, so you'd know way ahead of time if you shouldn't be heading towards middle-of-nowhere. But even then, EVs don't run out of battery suddenly, but gradually lose power and get slower. To get stranded, you'd have to be a fool ignoring all predictions, satnav, and then stubbornly drive slower and slower for 20+ miles while all the warnings are beeping at you.
