      Damn, that is so impressive! I live in the Northeast so wasn’t particularly worried about it, but it’s amazing how many there are! Skeptics really need to see that map.

      Even comparing rural NY where I grew up, it looks like plenty for any road trip. The difference is here you probably have one close enough to “fuel up” like you would at a gas station if you can’t charge at home (and I know people who do that), but in rural NY, you’re more likely to be in a house or otherwise be able to charge at home.

      Anyhow, my first road trip was almost a month ago now. Round trip was just above my range so I had to charge. In small town New Hampshire, there was a supercharger just a couple miles from my hotel, and it took just a short walk around the nearby Walmart!

      The only problem is charging locations are often just a bit off the main roads, and there are no signs telling you where they are. If you look you can find them, but they don’t advertise like gas stations.

        Arguably integrating them with GPS and trip navigation are far more useful.

        I’d be happy for all that advertising to go away, now that smart phones and GPS are near ubiquitous. If paper maps still exist, they can serve the holdouts

          i prefer to navigate without gps. While it is a useful tool, my brain can often find things worth a detour.
