This is just FUD.

Truly, I want an EV. But my occupation requires frequent long-distance travel to rural areas, I don't have the option of charging at home, and it's cold up here.

If it made practical and financial sense for me l would be all in. A lot of people I know feel this way. Even my older peers who were the biggest skeptics when EV's hit the market.

For instance, the most common trip I make is about 200mi one direction along a major US highway. Looking right now, there is one "slow charger" station near the first 1/3 leg of the trip, then nothing. How would I get back?

Yet... anecdotal, so that's just this stranger's take on it.
