    To be a dick, have you actually measured distances between gas stations in rural America and thought about how this would work if we replaced them with chargers?

      I’m not saying we shouldn’t but range is important especially to rural drivers… and super important to wide scale adoption

        Range is basically solved for the vast majority of the population at this point. There are chargers every few hundred kilos along all main interstates. Apart from those living out in extremely rural locations or living situations like apartments where you can’t charge at home, you’d be fine. For those that fall into that category…well, don’t buy an EV, lol.
