I wouldn't call any car affordable these days so that's a moot point. The rest of your description of EVs is not accurate at all. I drive an EV long distances across rural Montana regularly. If it works for me I can guarantee it would work wherever you are.
I'm not you. There are no ev charging stations in rural areas where I go.
My EV has over 300 mile range: most people aren’t going that far into the woods
Unless you live in Siberia or parts of Africa then I am 100% confident that rural Montana is more sparsely populated with both people and EV infrastructure than wherever you are. I can make it work. If you can't you either haven't tried and are therefore only speculating or you don't want to. Either way, that's a you problem
