Heh. I've got a picture of my Tesla under the same sign... Was there for granny's funeral, the supercharger was 2km from a family friend's house where we were staying... Let's just say that I haven't been back.

I drove up that way one summer - a couple decades ago.

At the time there was a sign warning of no GAS stations for the next 200km on the way to Timmins.

I can't imagine how sparse ev stations would be.

Most EVs have more than 200km of range (even in the cold), and most homes have electricity -- you can literally charge your car from a wall socket. Admittedly, it'll take a few days, but it works. The only exception is when it's bitterly cold -- you need enough juice to heat the battery as well as charge it.

Standard vehicles are the same, that’s why we use block heaters in Canada
