Here's another anecdote. My best friend is an engineer for SpaceX. He decided to put his name on an employee purchase waiting list for Tesla (there are fairly big discounts, so the list is about 1-year waiting time). Then, for one of the rocket launches, he had to drive to a remote location near Vandenburg Air Force Base in California. So did many other employees, who do own EV's. The village nearby had only one large capacity electric charging station, which fully charges an EV in approx. 30 minutes. The line up to it after the launch was enormous, as was the wait time (30 min per vehicle x a couple hundred vehicles). My friend removed his name from the wait-list the next day.
Here, in Calgary, charging stations are not wide-spread, but are reasonably easy to find. But rural infrastructure is not there yet. It will be there one day; but for now - it's a challenge, especially, if one travels out of the city a lot.
