You must live in a red state or the middle of nowhere. It's easy to find chargers everywhere I've been.

Yes, my point. I have to charge my car at home because of charging stations are either far, or Tesla owners park in them to do shopping.

Saying I live somewhere shit doesn't disprove my point that gas is more readily available.

My parents live in the sticks, in a red state, and I have no problem finding charging stations within twenty miles from them.
