I think this is a perfect scenario for some subsidized Federal infrastructure spending. I revel in the knee jerk bristling conservatives experienced as they read my first sentence. Much like turnpike service centers that you see in the East, EV service centers could be built along the interstates and could offer charging, basic vehicle services, restrooms, and even convenience stores. They could be expansions upon existing rest areas, and would be open for all vehicles. Would be nice if Tesla didn't have to do it all themselves, since they currently basically plop chargers into lots and provide zero services. It is luck of the draw whether you can actually use a bathroom or wash your windshield while charging your Tesla.
