Tesla Model S and X carry spare charge. Once you're at 0 miles of range the car keeps going for another good 10-20 miles. Is that any different to carrying the little extra petrol?
A few years ago this technology didn't even exist. Now we have electric cars which can do 300 miles on a charge and recharge in 30-45 minutes. Its expensive right now, but so were cars before the Ford Model T came along. The technology will get cheaper and it will get cheaper quickly. Once cars like the Model 3 and Model Y are in production, we'll see mass adoption of Electric vehicles. By which point other manufactures will be fully onboard as we'll, rather than just dipping their toes in with relatively short ranges.
