I guess I didn't make it clear that this quoted argument was meant to sound silly. I know you can go on holiday with EVs! My mom was a bit apprehensive about spontaneously needing to find chargers and figure them out, and so I invited her to a weekend trip for just the two of us, one of the goals being to see together how charging works out in different places and countries and how often that ends up being necessary etc. It was no problem at all if you can figure out the different payment methods (most worked with a magic card she got with the car, others wanted paypal via a web portal etc.)
