Rural EV charging faces hurdles. Sparse populations and long distances discourage investment, creating charging deserts. Existing grids often lack capacity for fast chargers, requiring expensive upgrades. Extreme weather can also disrupt charging. Solutions include community-owned stations and government incentives to attract private investment.
