These folks just don't get "it". With more than half of the world now "urban"... living in crowded spaces... surrounded by AC voltage plugins all around them...Ya wanna encourage electric vehicles? Spend yer money instead on "give away" public sharing bikes and trikes in towns and cities.
The use of large, heavy, expensive vehicles (operator plus lots of empty seats), with tons of (empty) cargo space, designed to go much faster than most urban speed limits... may NOT be the "best" way forward.

The federal government is designating 48 electric vehicle charging corridors along 25,000 miles of major U.S. highways as a way to cut greenhouse gas emissions and make it easier for drivers to switch to electric cars, the White House announced Thursday.
The plan calls for electric vehicle charging stations to be installed at least every 50 miles within the corridors and new government-approved signage to help drivers identify the locations of charging stations along the highway in 35 states.
