For most of Argentina and Chile and Bolivia there was no electricity at all, except for the occasional domestic windmill. We’re taking about 5,100 km of wild land. They had to charge the Rivians by attaching tow-cables to semi-trucks and being pulled, back and forth, to use the regenerative system. So deisel power, indirectly.
I also drove right around Africa through 35 countries getting as remote as possible. Again, I had to work hard to need more than 600km of range.
I also drove 18 months around Australia, including the world's most remote road, also across the Simpson. Again, aside from a few really odd cases (where no normal ice vehicle can get anyway) I was never far from power.
All of those places are developing rapidly, and all have been driven by EVs more than once.
They didn’t have electricity?! What country are you in?! How did they power their pumps?!
Ok, I’m being too hyperbolic.
I assume you mean they didn’t have DC fast charging, perhaps making a trip less practical, but I’d find it hard to believe there was no electric service whatsoever. One of the great benefits for EVs is that you can plug in anywhere.
> I buy a vehicle knowing in will serve every one of my use cases.
Vehicles are for already specific use cases; I don’t try to drive my car into the lake. I think a vehicle that can do everything probably can’t do many things well.
