I do think it would make more sense to do full size SUVs first instead of trucks and the freaking Hummer. I guess it doesn't really matter what they market first though. The problem is that they're trying to make this into a mainstream trend way too quickly. The charging infrastructure required doesn't exist in most of the US. Large cities, sure. If you need a charge, you'll be able to find a charging station pretty easily. Small rural towns, forget about it.
There are 2 charging locations in this town. One is here at our dealership and the other is at the Nissan dealership. There are no public stations. The closest public chargers are at a Walmart that is 16 miles away.
