Grew up on the east half of Washington, live on the west half now. You want to compare apples and oranges? Oh yeah. On the west side, gas is plentiful. Cross over and you just plan on never going below a quarter tank, ever, and a half tank is where you want to start looking for a fill up spot. The migration to EV infrastructure is going to be slow in that region. Which is sad, considering you've got hydroelectric dams littering the landscape. lol
That may be true but how often is that trip made? Once a year, twice a year? It's still very likely to have a 2nd car or even just rent a gas car for the weeklong vacation. It may make sense just to not put your car through the wear and tear of a 2000 mile round trip for a week vacation.
