There is a popular belief that people who live in rural areas of America are not good candidates for electric cars. They drive too far, there aren’t enough EV chargers available to charge them when away from home, and they can’t tow a 6-stall horse trailer up and over the mountains on the way to the next rodeo. There is some truth to all three of those beliefs, but according to a recent report from Coltura, an organization that works to reduce the amount of gasoline American use every year, there are perfectly good reasons why rural drivers should consider an electric car. The most prominent reason is money — electric cars can save people a lot of it.
