this whole discussion reminds me of the advent of catalytic converters and how unleaded fuel couldn't possible be availalbe everywhere on time when the first vehicles with Cat converters arrived.
Ad the time we lived in rural ND, then rural MT. Even in small towns and on trips to the outbacks, by the time the vehicles were introduced it was VERY VERY VERPY rare to find a station that didn't have unleaded fuel.
The transistion to EV is not an overnight thing like CAT converters were, personally for us for a second car and EV makes perfect sense, as does a plug in hybrid while a straight ICE engine for our cars makes zero sense for us. Our mile hybrid gets in town mileage = or better than the highway mileage while the straight ICE engine gets 18 city, 25 highway, or mild hybrid version consistenly gets 25-27 in town, 28-30 on the highway. The additional cost was a whopping LARGE $1500!!! payback is only a few years.
I would love to see the 3/4 and 1 ton trucks with a mild hybrid system to recover energy during stop and go driving,
At some point in the future, finding a petrol station will be about has hard as finding a station that sold diesel in the 70's and MB actually included a booklet of diesel fuel locations.
