While studies show that 30% of newer drivers aged 18-25 plan to buy an EV next, the overwhelming majority (58%) in the US still plan to stick with gasoline. Drivers in the Great Plains region, by contrast, will find charging opportunities sparse, and certainly too thinly distributed to support the typical mile range of an electric vehicle.

The Ram ProMaster EV’s per-mile operating costs are undoubtedly just a fraction of those for its siblings powered by the company’s 3.6-liter liter V6 gasoline engine, but the new EV is still quite pricey. Nissan never offered its e-NV200 compact electric van here (and the gasoline NV200 itself is now gone too).
