#1 "rural areas not having many chargers available"
Yeah, the public should cater to their boutique vehicles, even though no one in the 'great middle' sees any reason to build a whole new infrastructure system.
"If you build it, they will come."
How about we don't build it, and you just stay home?
It's a win-win.

#5 The tabletop game Car Wars was not supposed to be a goal.

What we've done locally is stretch a wire from the tallest building, a clock tower on top of City Hall, and they can charge off of that wire, so long as they are in contact when the tower is struck by lightning.

An EV race would look something like a three day grand prix with a total of 50 laps. Charging station would have a pit crew of some 6 stationary bikes, bunch of Lance Armstrong dudes trying to re-charge their Formula Amp carriage. Winner gets a Bud Light facial.
