How long is the charge cycle? How far can these vehicles go on a charge? How long do the batteries last? How much does it cost to replace the batteries? How do you safely dispose of the batteries in an economical way? Rural Americans require dependable transportation that is easily "charged" and doesn't require an overnight charge cycle. That's not "set in their ways," that's just reality. Plenty of rural folks invest themselves in new technologies, but those technologies have to work for them. Forcing some new technology on folks, just because they supposedly "NEED" that technology, as decided by the "powers that be" isn't going to make that technology work for them. It's all what works for you, me, them, etc. If that technology isn't of any use for me or them or you any, what's the point of investing in it? If it works for you, great. If it doesn't work for me, I have other choices.
