Almost everybody lives in areas with sealed roads and electricity. I'm reasonably sure that the majority lives in areas that you'd classify as urban.

Quick googling suggests that it is 79% in the U.S..
Glad I am pert of the marginalized 21, who seems not to matter. 'Flyovers' are people too, dispite the sv bigotry.
Start complaining when a decent chunk of the urban population owns an electric car or stops owning a car and that somehow becomes a problem for you.
It is already a problem when national policy discussions practically ignore one out of five people.
Which national policy discussions do you mean?
Auto taxes, auto tariffs, tax credits/rebates, fuel economy/emissions standards, charging/power infrastructure, gas taxes, urban emissions bans, etc.
