What exactly is your argument here? That there are a few cases where an EV currently isn't the best case? The original argument was that there were vast parts of the US where the distance between chargers was far enough to make trips impossible with an EV and now we're discussing an imagined situation where you get stuck in a snowbank overnight and somehow running a generator to power your heater is the preferred solution?

No it isn't being pragmatic and honest it's trying to find some weird edge cases to argue that his original claim(which was false) is actually technically true because under conditions X, Y, Z which impacts basically no one ever an ICE is required. It's silly. 350 million people in the country and you're coming up with situations that impact a few thousand of them a year as if thats a legitimate concern with EVs. Nothing honest about that.

Coming up with a situation where you make the worst possible travel plans, make the worst possible choices and still it's workable with an EV is not the argument you seem to think it is.
