I'm thinking about visiting a friend ~8 years ago. He lives in a rural area, and back then cell phone signal coverage was terribly spotty. Couldn't go around a curve without risk of losing coverage. But the situation improved. When I visited a few months back, what a huge difference there was. I was amazed that out in the boondocks mobile phones worked just about everywhere. (Well, at least in that locality.) Seems to suggest that once the demand for electric vehicle recharging begins to ramp up, the charge-station infrastructure will improve just as rapidly as cell phone towers have proliferated. Tourism may be one motivator but seems predictable that once electric vehicles are good enough and affordable, small town residents themselves will generate the bulk of the demand for this infrastructure.
