I can’t imagine that an EV works as well for someone in rural Saskatchewan with a 45 minute drive to the grocery store as well as it does for someone living in Toronto, Montreal. Mechanics who look askance at “the Asian cars” still are out there. Heck it might be a challenge just getting it to the community from an urban center.
I love my EV, and recognize it doesn’t work for everyone just yet (sometimes because of bad reasons that society accepts like “suburbia”).
My EV gets about 200km range in winter (my use case is up to 30 min trips primarily); 80km in 45 min, x2, is not far from the equivalent of 1/4 tank of “gas” in reserve, except there’s no Jerry can for an EV.
Then, convince someone who isn’t fully convinced of the superiority of fuel injection to go out in that. It’s always the “what if” fear of the unknown scenarios, and politics plays a role.

Honestly 45 minutes is well within the range of most EVs. I would guess temperature and politics are more influential in the those areas.
