I hear your concerns, but we also need to take self-accountability into the conversation. An EV can call for a quick charge just like an ICE vehicle, and I would hope that someone wouldn't run down below zero (there's always some mileage leftover for those who run their tanks/batteries down to 0%) while having an infant in the car. I understand situations happen that one may not be able to account for, but hopefully one could get over to the shoulder and call for a charge and be on their way. You'd be in the same "call for help no heat" situation with ICE as an EV.
