"During snowstorm sometimes miles of the highway can be filled with stranded card. I wonder what will happen when all those cars are gasoline powered and the tanks depleted." You can literally camp in an EV for days with a comfy temp inside. And if you're stuck in traffic for _days_, you've got bigger issues or you live in an area where you should never drive anywhere without a Get Home Bag anyway. I live in Scandinavia where the temps get regularly below -20C and an EV is the best option to have by far. No car ever has been as warm as fast during winters.

I am talking about charging / towing massive amount of cars. A bit o fuel for each can be delivered easily. Situaton is different with the batteries.

  Are you just inventing scenarios or is this something that actually happens somewhere in the world regularly? A massive amount of cars getting stuck in snow for so long they run out of fuel/electricity and need to be towed out one by one? It's not exactly rocket science to bring in a generator on site to charge the EVs enough to get them to the nearest charger. I could also invent a scenario out of my ass where the local gas station has run out of fuel because of a bank run style situation, but the electric grid still works just fine. How would gasoline powered cars work then?

      People in the US regularly get stuck in snow on a highway for over 24 hours? In non-trivial amounts, not just isolated cases of people being idiots during the winter and driving a narrow mountain road on summer tires and getting stuck? Those people really need a GHB and a propane cooker in their car at all times.
