    The fact that gas prices are somehow representative of how well the President is doing makes no sense at all.

    In fact, if they were doing well they’d start weaning the US off the enormous oil subsidies and those prices would skyrocket and people would think harder about other forms of transportation.

              No, it would just be more expensive. I do tons of remote travel and the range and lack of charging infrastructure are prohibitive until that improves.

                  Dude I take people on wilderness adventures all over the US, but that’s only a side gig. I’ve definitely never seen an EV on rough mountain 4x4 trails though. I’m sure they’ve gone many of those places but out there they bring generators to recharge. How many superchargers per square mile are there in Wyoming, Montana, South/North Dakota? Hell even Kansas which isn’t so remote? Even on major highways where charging is easier to find, I sometimes drive 1200 miles/day. It just isn’t ready yet.
