I-95 from Richmond Virginia to Portland Maine is an excellent example to what Dave said above.
As far as EVs go I believe it is going to take much longer than people realize to fully adopt here due to political reasons and people not wanting to be forced into what they believe to be a political agenda as well as things mentioned before like houses with street parking only apartment dwellers etc. Wife and I are looking for a truck a couple to a few years down the road and we have started research casually and while the Camaro, Mustang and Challenger crowd is very small the pickup truck crowd is not and in fact correct me if I am wrong its the largest in the US and is also the Big 3s bread and butter. The people on forums and other sources of communication have displayed unwelcoming responses to EVs in trucks at least for right now simply due to biases against it or in the case I am in or others it just simply doesn't work for people looking to tow a trailer across state lines or hauling. Ford also recently stopped development of an EV Superduty for now as well. (F250 or bigger trucks for those that do not know) Ram made no mention of EV in their HD trucks and I don't know what GM is doing in the future for their HD trucks. I expect the 1500 series trucks and F150s to have a mixture of ICE and an EV with hybrid options like the Powerboost and Tundras IForce Max probably until I hit my 60s and 70s.
For Cars like Sedans or crossovers and other smallish SUVs for local commutes or other local needs I see this as the segment EVs will shine and have the most buyers however that is just my theory and speculations.
