    Charging duration at fast chargers is not that much of an issue for the most part. You’ll be able to drive for for hours and you will likely want to stop for a bit anyway.

    The lack of chargers where you would be is definitely an issue though. Renting an ICE would make sense then and you would almost certainly save money overall with that combo. In my area, an EV would save $1000-2000 USD for fuel costs each year (small hybrid on the low range and a crossover on the higher end). Given gas prices in Canada, I would have to imagine the savings are even higher for you.
