One consideration is that if fossil fuel cars drop to a very low level in cities, the spending put into maintaining the fossil fuel infrastructure might become unsustainable. That would in turn drive up the price in rural area as well. In the end, it is very expensive to maintain parallel infrastructures as such and densely populated cities (unfortunately maybe) drive the trend of which infrastructure is going to win.

I suspect electric infrastructure is already more widespread in rural areas than gas stations.

How many houses are next to a gas station? How many houses away from these can sustain 2kW load of their electric supply at night?
