You just need a charging station every hundred kilometres or so, that’s perfectly doable even in sparsely populated areas. In fact, this kind of infrastructure is far easier to roll out than gas stations.

Not to be a dick but do you realize how rural rural America is?

Wait you think digging a hole and putting in a few tanks to store gas is harder than having substations near by to power super charge stations?

The answer is no, no it is not easier or cheaper.

So what do they power those gas pumps with? Electricity, by any chance?

I’d rather not refuel in -20F weather on a single trip. Add in a trailer and a road trip becomes a charging trip with intermittent driving.

Yeah, we should make all our infrastructure decisions based on the rarest edge cases.

Yep. People in the city, EVs are fine. For those of us who haul or have to drive farther than 20 miles it becomes an issue. It’s not there just yet for us. I’m still holding out for hydrogen ICE motors.

Where do you get the idea from that an EV only has 20 miles of range? Have you ever even seen an EV let some driven one?
