You are the funny one. I have only seen Tesla being recharged by the roadside once -- a picture here on GAW recently. Years of Tesla news, and not a peep about winter usage.

People with money to buy EVs now are at least upper middle class. Or somewhat tech-savvy. (Leaving aside those who won Darwin Awards using the Autopilot stupidly,) this means that suitably functional EV drivers have range and battery capacity in mind, all the time. (Leaving aside say, teenagers borrowing parents' cars.)

As such, most will do fine, since they are already well-attuned to planning on battery use and management. ("100 miles left. Oh, take the supercharger tomorrow when I do groceries.") It's just another item to manage. And things like free or low-cost superchargers will be an incentive to train oneself on range / capacity awareness.

And for long trips in poor winter weather, there is always their other car (if they can afford an EV...) or a rental for cross-country trips. The most common usage of EVs is still commuting, that's why RR or Bentley is planning EV luxury cars with emphasis on short commuting, since their data indicates that the cars are most likely used for short trips.

For now, this kind of scenario will be as rare as folks who self-terminate using Autopilot stupidly. No more than that.

Other problems will dominate way before this scenario happens.
