While the current state of our charging infrastructure is dismal, for sure …..
There are high speed charging trucks for just this purpose, or presumably a tow to a charger
In an emergency, you should be able to charge at any electrical outlet. It will cost you time, but if the goal is just enough charge to get you to a supercharger, then it may not be too bad
There is one aspect of charging that is much better in rural areas: the opportunity to charge from home. I never use a local high speed charger, those are only for trips. Charging at home is cheaper and much more convenient than going to the gas station for local driving, but many urban people won’t be able to do that
