What do you do if no one has a charging station waiting just for you to plug into. How green is it to run out of juice and have to call a flatbed truck that gets 8 mpg burning diesel to tow you home?
But the majority of people drive less than 50 miles per day, and most electric cars I've heard of have ranges in excess of 100 miles. So situations like what you describe will be exceedingly rare.
