Just had an idea. Perhaps this is something Lucid could be the first to initiate.
Imagine if EV only vehicle manufacturers ( meaning EV only- Tesla, Lucid, Rivian, Fisker etc) gave every buyer of an EV 5-10 days a year of free ICE SUV/minivan rental for longer trips. For example, Lucid could tie up with Enterprise. Anyone buying a new Lucid, will have access. Whenever customer prefers ICE for a long trip (considering the charging infrastructure is not adequate and could take another decade), they get the vehicle rental paid by Lucid.
This would entice more buyers to get an EV, knowing they can still go on the trip to Yellowstone and not have to worry about range anxiety.
I'm sure this would push more sales and could be temporary till sales significantly improve and charging infrastructure improves.
