Great ad for the car. Time is marching on this issue as there will be many, many more electrics on the market soon.

I beg to differ. This video is a great ad for an internal combustion engine.

Nope. The video was made about travelling with an electric vehicle in an area with no infrastructure for electric vehicles. Those areas are getting harder to find. People with electric vehicles don’t tend to travel in areas without ichargibg infrastructure. Why would they?

We will have to agree to disagree. If I were interested in switching to an EV, that video would scare me off. My ICE can take me ANYWHERE I want to go without worrying about replenishing the car's power. Not so with an EV.

In answer to your question about why would people travel to areas without infrastructure, because that is where they want to travel?

Again. People don’t generally do what was done in the video.

People generally assess their needs when buying a vehicle. Patterns, locations etc. The average person travelling to remote locations without infrastructure would be informed enough not to buy an EV. Right tool for the right job.

Cheers.
