And even the East Coast is severely lacking on EV infrastructure. The only chargers in my hometown are a pair that they installed with the new elementary school, and those are locked all day because they don't want random people sitting at an elementary school when there's kids there. The stupidity of the design aside, the next closest charging station I know of is about 75 miles away.
I'd drive an EV if it was practical, but when you can really only charge them on a self-installed home charger, it really impacts where you can go with them.
