Looks like 17% of Americans, and declining, live in the Midwest[1]. Meanwhile the south and west are home to 60% of Americans and growing. I'd expect to see these warmer growing regions, especially the densely populated coasts, to see investment before the Midwest. It might take a while before your requirements are met.

Plus the midwest gets an immense amount of through traffic as it's impossible to get from one side of the US to the other without passing through here. The problem isn't a lack of rapid charging stations in rural towns since long-distance travel will almost always involve passing through major urban centers. The problem is even large cities in the midwest like Kansas City and St Louis have relatively few stations which come close to approaching the convenience of a gas station, which makes long-distance travel frustrating.
