There is a problem in the US that might also occur in Australia and 
Canada. Obviously a stereotype but the people pushing for EVs tend to live 
in the heavily populated strips along the east and west coasts. They refer 
to the 2500 miles or so in between as 'flyover country'. If they see it at 
all it's because they flew in to visit Yellowstone and pet a buffalo. 
Okay, a bison, but the idiots do try to pet them. This ain't Disney Land.

The phenomenon applies to a lot more than EVs.
