It makes sense for you to use EV. But, in our case, reality of life is significantly different in many ways. We travel in the southwest region of our country frequently, love the area for camping and other outdoors activities. It is not uncommon to go 100 miles and not see another car ( not interstate highways). Individual states have signs on some roads indicating the next gas station 50 miles or whatever it might be. More uncommonly used roads do not have any posted signs. But these are the fun places to look for petroglyphs and fossils. No restaurants with free chargers in any of these areas yet, in some areas no restaurants, period.
