Agreed - out of small urban bubbles, you rarely see many EVs on the road. Go up to the U.P. in Michigan. esp. in winter. Lots of F-150s.

And even in urban areas, look how many cars are street-parked... on my street, the electric infrastructure won't support electric cars. It would cost $30,000 for ComEd to run new wires to my condo. My point being: even in urban, there are infrastructural barriers to EVs.

Selling Tesla's to rich people doesn't help the environment.
