People tend to eat at least one meal during a day’s travel.
Chargers could be placed at highway exit restaurants and at motels.
A motel charger would typically top up the batteries and a restaurant charger would come close.
If you are in the Interstate highway gasoline business plan to get into the restaurant and fast charging business.

On long drives, eating often takes place with drive-through pick up and eating while driving, selecting anything I like with a drive through, not just those with charging stations.

My family and I just picked out a restaurant for dinner tonight. Not one second was used choosing a restaurant near a charger.
Your argument sucks into the twisted totalitarian mentality.

Good solution if you are only one needing a charge. But let’s assume filling a gas tank takes 5 minutes. And fully charging an EV takes 20 minutes. And let’s assume half the cars are EV. And assume an interstate gas station has 16 gas pumps. Half (8) will be replaced with chargers. Charger takes 4 times as long, so you end up with 8 gas pumps and 32 chargers. And that’s optimistic.

If your average ICE vehicle is refilled in 5 minutes and your average EV takes four hours to charge to the same range as a full tank of gas, then you’re going to need 48 EV chargers for each gasoline pump in any given area if the number of EVs on the road is comparable to the number of ICEs.
How many business establishments at a highway interchange have this kind of real estate to work with?
