I don't think it'd be as hard as you suggest. Even grid power (let alone off-grid power) is far more accessible to even the ruralest of ruralites than a gas station. Another decades' worth of improvements on vehicle range/horsepower/affordability and off-grid power generation/storage/affordability would be more than enough to convince folks that EVs are a sufficiently-practical choice.
