Huh, weird. I drive my EV in rural areas occasionally and it works just fine.
On a more serious note, a level 2 charger (which is basically a dryer outlet) can get you up to 60mph of charging. Some back of the napkin math says my car would do ~40mph. Assuming you sleep about 8hrs a night, you're looking at 320 miles of range every night. Imagine waking up to a full tank of gas in your car every day, and that whole tank cost like 10 bucks?
Unless you are away out in the West, an EV would do fine.
