    Unfortunately, I’d still have to drive 2+ hours to fill up anyplace besides home. I’d love to have a little EV for summer, but it’s just not feasible here in Northern Wisconsin, yet.

      Was in a very similar situation in nebraska, but recently a dealership in the town over opened a few spots for charging, so it is spreading, just very slowly

        Yeah, it’s only a matter of time, considering the push for electric trucks. But I’m not sure how viable they’ll be for most people, considering how cold it gets in the winter.

        You also probably have more people in the surrounding block, than I do in the surrounding 10-20 miles. I’ll take that trade off.

          …I guess…?

          It’s all a matter of preference, after all. I enjoy convenience of places to go, things to do, good food to eat, people around me, decent public service, public transport and…of course… charging stations

            Indeed. I get overwhelmed when there are too many people and too much noise. I enjoy being able to walk out my door, and wander the forest. I have a little grill up the street, but otherwise am able to cook better meals than most places, and certainly have better ingredients from my garden. I go into a bigger town ever month or two, Rhinelander pretty much monthly, and the likes of Wausau every 3-4 months, so I can scratch the occasional itch for something different then.
