      It seems this is mostly applying to rural dealerships that sell American brands

      Some dealerships are better than others, but in my experience of buying a car in the last year, most dealerships are oblivious to EVs and the majority of the rest are hostile. Even if dealerships know anything about EVs, many are looking at the lack of EV maintenance and see disappearing recurring income for oil changes, etc
