Well you're moving the goal posts, because this chain of comments is about "when the grid is built out more, EVs will be a viable option for more people." So your "In today's world" argument is irrelevant to the conversation.
Also, in today's world, people are still capable of planning ahead to make sure they don't run out of juice. You have to do the same with gas engines when you're crossing the mid-west, where fuel points can be a hundred miles or more apart. People still run out of gas on their normal routes if they forget to pay attention.
EVs are currently used so sparsely that chances are the wait for a charging port is quicker than the line for gas at any highway rest stop. There's no reason why the EV infrastructure can't be built out more as adoption grows. It should already be being built out for future-proofing, but the fossil fuel lobby won't stop crying about it because they don't want people to consider EVs an option.
If you want to keep burning dead dinosaurs and accelerating global warming, no one's stopping you. Just don't force us to listen to you crying about it when gas is $10 a gallon and your pickup can only get you 5-10 mpg.
