The Charging Desert: Rural EV Infrastructure Is the Real Bottleneck
Cities have plentiful chargers; the highways between them are a different story. Rural charging is where EV adoption actually stalls.
Range anxiety is a charging-station problem
Intercity corridors in most markets have 80% of the traffic but a minority of the chargers. Long-distance EVs queue at a handful of 350 kW hubs while urban dwellers plug in at home.
