Fair response and thank you for having an open mind.

Funny story about fuel types. On a vacation, the car rental company upgraded me to a Camaro after not driving an ICE for like 5 years. First stop to fuel it up and I saw “no E85” under the gas cap. Had to sit for 5 minutes to Google what that meant.

I think the point maybe you missed about running out of gas is that deciding to purchase gas is an active decision that has to be planned out. Some people shop gas by price and put off fueling until they find it cheaper or schedule time to wait in line at Costco. If you’re in a hurry, you might put off buying gas until the next day, or maybe your kid is lazy and tries to get away with not filling up when he brings dad’s car home from his date.

Sure you can forget to charge your car just like you can forget your wallet at home, but it’s much easier to build a routine out of a task that involves things being at the same place at the same time every day. In fact, some home chargers have wifi connectivity and a setting to ping your phone if you forget to plug in by a certain time of night. In the best scenario, fueling up might be a 5 minute detour, but plugging in takes more like 5 seconds.
