It's a different meaning, though—even if you have access to 1 million gas stations, it doesn't help you if your tank doesn't hold enough gas to get to the next station on your route. The total number isn't meaningful in "road trip" problems.

The total number might be too simplistic for planning a long journey, but private charging stations do have positive utility even for those that don't own them.
