> To offer my anecdotal observation, where I live, I rarely ever see an EV.

Where do you live? I live in a regular German town, nothing I would consider particular techie, and I see so many electric cars. If you only see one ev per day, I think that you might live more in a bubble than OP.

One is certainly underestimating. I only mean some insignificant number of vehicles. Far from the “proven” statement about people vying for EV rentals in the OP comment. I realize now that I shouldn’t have put an explicit number on an internet comment, as now that number is the target to come after me for.

i mean urban geographies are for the most part a bubble.

I could see even in different parts of the US wildly different EV adoption rates. They're very common in Seattle but I think I would be surprised if I saw too many of them in Boise. US states are often the size of European countries.

83% of the US population lives in an urban area, it's the rural dwellers in the "bubble".

[bobthepanda]

each urban region is its own bubble. Spokane looks different from Houston which looks different from Detroit and Baltimore, etc.

any company doing targeting based on just vaguely urban vs. rural would be in for a terrible return on investment

They’re pretty common in the Bay Area but, anecdotally while they’re becoming more common in the Boston suburbs they’re still a fairly unusual sighting other than at a charging station next to a supermarket I shop—which typically has 1-2 cars at it.
