Electrify America is actively working to build out a DC Fast Charging network: https://www.electrifyamerica.com/locate-charger https://www.electrifyamerica.com/locate-charger
Here's some quotes from their plan:
"Electrify America is investing in roughly 900 charging stations across the United States by mid-2019. These stations have multiple dispensers with more than 5,000 charging ports available."
"Electrify America’s DC Fast EV charging stations will be located along high-traffic corridors in 39 states, including two cross-country routes. Locations will accommodate between four and ten chargers, with charging power levels up to 350kW available at every station, capable of adding 20 miles of range per minute to a vehicle. Nationally, each planned station site will be located no more than 120 miles apart and, on key East and West Coast highways, planned locations average only 70 miles apart."
Don't get me wrong. There are gaps in their planned build-out, but they should be able to quickly build out to a point where their charging network suffices for the vast majority of Americans typical long distance driving needs. For everything else, rental cars are still an option, and the future should bring even more DCFC infrastructure build-out.
