That's a bit extreme. A conventional car can run out of fuel too. And has
no alternative means of propulsion. Other than pushing it.
The actual range makes no difference to this either - for some a *genuine*
range of 50 miles might be plenty - others might need a great deal more.

To expand, a small electric car might only be suitable for city use - so
doesn't need a vast range. If it were meant to be a general pupose
family car, a different matter.
