I have no clue where any chargers even are.

Go to https://www.plugshare.com/ and set the filter to 145kW or faster to find the ones that charge my EV in 15 minutes to get it to 85%. (The last 15% take forever because it charges slowly at that point.)

So don't get an EV if you want to use it for road trips from Alpine, TX to Mission, TX where there are no fast chargers. The same for if you regularly drive trips from Lincoln, NB to Custer, SD. But ours works fine for most of our road trips (weekend trips in the southeast, or trips from Alabama to the northeast during the warm months).

But road trips aren't where the gas savings of an EV are. I wouldn't have gotten an EV except my wife and I drive tons of home charged miles. The only reason we prefer to take our EV on road trips is because it's our newest, and most comfortable, car. On the few road trips with no fast chargers, we'd take the gas pickup.
