The car being electric has nothing to do with this situation. This is just an idiot driver

Maybe it's not causation but correlation?

They are an idiot (driver and parent post), but it is a valid concern: You can carry 50 miles of ICE range in a plastic jug.

Cool, how’s that gas can going to help an ICE sedan get up this unmaintained road? It’s completely irrelevant to this situation

How about real snow tires? Driving skills and good decision making?

Can you carry them too and add them on when needed?

I see plenty of low ground clearance + summer tires vehicles stuck on Vermont back roads every year. Wait until mud season and you've got a 50/50 chance of seeing one high centered in the middle of any -mud- dirt road.
