It is a real scenario.
You are not other people. Other people drive more & for longer distances than you do.
Okay.
I, roughly ONCE a week, pull off the side of the road and turn into the entrance of a gas station that is conveniently located right off the very same road that I am already driving on anyway.
They aren't.
Who has said that? I haven't seen anyone in this thread say that.

No, Norway's government forced EV's on the population. They offered massive, costly, incentives to entice people to buy and drive one. At the same time, they slapped onerous taxes and other penalties on ICE vehicles to further disincentivize them.

Norway Regrets Its EV Push Because It Made People Dependent On Cars

Say what you want, they've been banned on ferries in Europe for all intents. Norway's government might be pleased, but it's clear the population isn't. They just tossed their government out for a more conservative one.

Because The Ferry Company believes the same lies you do. Right wingers swim in a sea of lies trying to avoid the truth. Offering incentives is not forcing them to buy EVs.Say what you want, they've been banned on ferries in Europe for all intents.

Incentives, and disincentives for alternatives, are the equivalent of force if they are onerous enough, and in Norway's case that was exactly what happened.
Ferry companies saw vehicle fires from EV's on ships and the danger those posed and banned the cars as a result. It's likely their insurers were urging them to do so too. One EV fire was seen as sufficient to likely gut the ship and lead to its loss. The ship owners simply didn't need that risk, so they banned the vehicles.
You seem to have trouble with the facts. ICEs burn at a far greater percentage than EVs. It is not close.

Did I say anything about that? The fact that EVs burn and are damn near impossible to put out is the issue, not their propensity to burn.
Changing the subject again. ICEs burn a lot more often and fire departments have learned how to handle them.
The fact is many ICEs cannot go 60,000 miles. There are terrible cars with engine troubles and transmissions breaking down .ICEs have been developed for a century and many are terrible. The Ford Eco Boost is trash. The Chrysler cars are horrible. There are transmission shops on every corner for a reason. There are muffler shops on every other corner.

Have fire departments "learned how to handle" EV fires?
????? I've NEVER seen an ICE that HASN'T gone 60,000 miles......................
My town car is pushing 70k miles now. My RAV4 is pushing 150k. They both have plenty of life left in them, and that's even in Wisconsin winters where we salt the piss out of our roads and it rusts out our vehicles rather quickly.
It's funny watching people from other areas of the nation look underneath a vehicle, see an extremely small rust spot, and act as if there's soooooo much rust underneath the vehicle and act like the vehicle is about to fall apart. In Wisconsin, we'd call such a vehicle "rust free" (or otherwise in very good shape).
There are also a shit ton of great cars with no engine or transmission troubles.
Very few have been terrible. The vast majority have been quite fine. If I recall correctly, you STILL drive an ICE vehicle to this very day.
I wouldn't know; I've never had a vehicle with that engine.
The people I know who have had Chrysler cars were generally happy with them.
No there aren't, and I've only ever had the one transmission issue in my RAV4 (torque converter) [it's a known issue in my year of RAV4] and I've never once had a muffler issue. I did have my exhaust pipe fall down to where it was dragging on the road, but I had that welded back on.
