In another post it was mentioned that it is possible to have 120 volt charging system. That could be plugged into any small motel in a rural area. A truck-sized EV could have a gasoline generator for emergency charging.
........In 2 years there will be many more charging stations available as people begin to realize ALL the advantages of ELECTRIC vehicles. They are quieter and smoother by their inherent design. They have a lower center of gravity which aids BOTH acceleration and deceleration. They are non-polluting and thus better for the environment of the earth which is in horrible shape due to pollution. In our gasoline ICE culture, many inner cities have so much pollution that it can be smelled and seen. The advantages of EV,s just goes on and on.
You forgot to mention how cheap EV's are, and how the lower earner that commutes to work everyday can save money by owning one. Oh wait......my bad.
