The reasoning is wrong on two points:
You don't drive EVs until they are almost out of charge and then stop to recharge them. (You recharge them when they would be parked anyway.)
It assumes that pure EVs are intended for long distance driving off of main routes. (That's a niche which will likely be handed off to things like electric-driven hybrids.)
