That's a common response I get from people who only have lived experience in the US west. You may not be aware but east of the Mississippi all the land is lived in, all of it. It's not empty like in the west outside of cities. Living in Wisconsin in one of the vast areas you assume people don't live in I've never even seen an EV station. I live in a duplex and would not be able to charge an EV car (no outside outlets, no way to run an extension cord across the shared parking lot, only one NEMA 50 outlet used by my oven). Forced EV policies unintentionally discriminate against the poor. And yes, 50% of people might be in large cities, but 50% are not. Looking at that supercharge.info map I see the EV stations are 50 miles apart and only on major interstates. There are significant fractions of the population (ie, probably 1/3) more than 75 miles from any charging station. And the vast majority of destinations are just as far from them. There's literally only 30 for the entire state of Wisconsin and half are clustered in the two moderately large cities in the south. Why link the map when you knew it didn't confirm your assertion? edit: I was wrong about the grid not being high capacity enough and I am happy to be corrected and learn I am wrong about that.
