In the absence of government pork, chargers would go where they would naturally make sense: parking lots, motels, restaurants.
Instead of a chicken in every pot maybe they should advertise a portable genny for every car?
Was once at a Wawa station in JAX, they had a bunch of Tesla Superchargers our back. Looking, I think there are at least 10.

The place had some decent food options, so I think the idea was they’d get you for a meal while you charged.
If this stuff is to be successful, it needs to be because of free market initiatives like this, not because of central planners figuring it all out with “equity” in mind.
No one discusses the source of the electricity. In California 40% of the electricity is generated by burning natural gas 🤣🤣🤣.
Where is the power going to come from and how will it be distributed? The chargers are the last step. The Texas blackouts showed one thing. You can be awash in energy but if it isn’t in the right form and available to be distributed where and how you need it you are out of luck. That EV station is useless without power and the grid is stretched as is.
How about existing Gas Stations
