I know there's been times when I've woken up in the morning, and see that the clock is flashing 12:00:00. Then I check the clock on the stove, isn't digital. Turns out the power was off for four hours overnight while I was sleeping.
Get to your EV and learn that it's only half-charged, on the exact day you were planning on meeting the girls for lunch on the other side of The Villages.
Good thing you have your gas car. Too bad you didn't have a gas cart.

The probabilities, the statistics, and the math aren't going to support your scenario.
Simplest way to look at it:
- my cart restores about 6 mikes of range for every hour of charging
- in the four hours that power was NOT off it would have recovered 24 miles.
- in the three hours between arriving home and going to bed and between waking up and going back out it would have recovered another 18 miles
- if I traveled so far yesterday that recovering 42 miles was not sufficient for my travels today then I need a day off anyway
