Freeways no longer work when one car breaks down. Can you imagine 10% of the cars stuck on the freeways, every day?

It really depends on how much of your usable range you're consuming between recharging. Running your electric car down to 0% is a significantly different psychological equation than your phone and much less likely. You're suggesting that 10% of EV owners are running out of energy on a daily basis and that's simply not the case.
Re; bringing your friend a gallon of gas. Future EVs will have L2 V2V charging capability which will allow you to use your own vehicle charge to help someone stranded who might need some range.
I also suspect that there will be certain DC Fast Charge trucks that can deploy energy at speeds faster than L2.
