You are underestimating the life time expectancy of EV Batteries and the availability of charging stations. A holiday trip over in the northern countries in Europe (Netherlands, Denmark, Sweden and Norway) of around 3500 kilometers is very, very doable. There are charging stations everywhere. Even at remote mountain stations. Granted these countries are at the forefront of the EV car transition. Electrifying transportation is possible. Just as we were able to build a massive oil-infrastructure, we will and are able to build the necessary electric and battery infrastructure. Even in remote areas. You build charging stations with wind and/or solar power and a battery. That's it. It doesn't even need to be connected to the grid. They are already being build in Africa like this (and also provide power to local villages). They cost money to build of course, but the business model is there.
