Person you're replying to is in Moray, Scotland, referring to local tax relief for petrol stations: https://www.moray.gov.uk/media/yrcjso12/file79893.pdf
Probably not all that rural by US standards, but it is by UK standards.
The EV rollout is still early stages here too. If we had regional electricity pricing (contentious question!), Scotland would have cheaper electricity and potentially at zero on many occasions.
(ID Buzz? Very expensive though)
