Re: Electricity in the USA
"without being able to build the charging network to support it"
Good point.
Given that I don't anticipate charging stations being a common feature in areas with a population density of 5 people/mi^2 (1.9 / km^2), there is a huge part of the country where such charging stations will not exist for decades, if ever.
If life, work, or fun take you there, then a battery only EV is not for you.
