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".


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.
