I don't see the problem. If you need to travel long distances a few times a week or more, get a gas car or hybrid. If you need to do it once a month or less, buy an electric for your day to day and rent gas for that long haul. The money you save in weekly gas more than pays for an occasional gas rental. Have folks who have regular small to medium commutes get an electric (or take public transit, bike, walk, etc.). For those with needs that extend beyond electric, especially rural folks, get gas or diesel. More than 90% of folks in the US fall into the former group. Leave the latter 10% to their needs, which are demonstrably distinct from the first. One size fits all… doesn't.
