    Imagine a world where people don’t just live in the US of EU. What about other countries? Rural vs Urban? Of course large cities aren’t the issue, it’s what do you do when you don’t live near charging stations? Driving in town isn’t an issue. It’s driving anywhere else that’s the issue.

      This article is about the EU…

      As for rural vs urban, the charging locations I mentioned were in rural areas. One of the towns has a whopping 1500 people. The other towns are not much bigger.

      As for where you live, you can check out PlugShare to see how many fast chargers are near you. It really is not much of an issue in developed countries outside of maybe trying to go from eastern Australia to Perth but no sane person does that drive. The other places I could see being an issue would be Yukon, Nanavut, and Northwest Territories in Canada.
