Is that fear an unfounded rumor, or does it really happen?
EV batteries don't suddenly go dead, like an ICE running out of gas.
Every EV I've ever owned or driven provides plenty of warning when it's
running low on charge; far more than an ICE "low fuel" light. And, it
never really stops; it just keeps getting slower and slower. It may shed
loads like the heater or A/C, and limit your speed and acceleration. But
it will still get you home or to the next charger. It will never die on
the railroad tracks like an ICE that's out of gas.
Even the infamous Jeremy Clarkson had to go to extraordinary lengths to
get a Tesla to actually stop moving due to a low battery.

I don't "buy" this survey. My wife bought our Leaf. :-)
This "massive gender gap" could well be just the biased result of a
poorly designed survey conducted with anecdotal data.
