No, the closest that I'm aware of is the cafe at Kettleman City.

  It's inevitable that bigEnergy will dominate any EV charging infrastructure and pricing. Governments collect huge taxes from fuel for travel, some of which they use to maintain roads. Going from a 3 minute fill up of gasoline or diesel to a 20 minute minimum recharge and having to go to a shopping mall is a currently regressive and inconvenient step. Hopefully as battery and grid tech improves this will become less inconvenient.

    I don't understand why its inevitable that big energy will dominate. There's nothing particularly global about our electricity supply that requires it to be as dominated by oligopoly the way that Gasoline and Crude Oil could be. I do expect that the future looks a lot more like C-Stores with charging stations than some of the current stations though. A lot of new Tesla installs are going in at gas stations, but they are the newer stations (Sheetz, Wawa, Parkers) rather than stations owned directly by oil companies. I'm not sure what's regressive and inconvenient about a shopping mall. Most have food courts, and tbh, I think the ideal charge stop would be one near a food hall.

    For long trips it is definitely inconvenient, but if you have a charger at home it is much more convenient than filling up a tank.
