I thought it was odd that you claimed those chargers are rare, turns out they are - in the US.
According to [0], there are only a few 350kW chargers in the US, mostly in the Northeast. If you look at the same map in Europe, they're pretty common on long-distance travel routes.
I wonder why this is? Is it related to US electrical infrastructure? I know in much of Europe it's common to have 3-phase electricity at home, for example.

- clouddrover 4y ago> I wonder why this is? It's because Chargemap's US map isn't very good. Try Plugshare (https://www.plugshare.com/ https://www.plugshare.com/) or A Better Route Planner (https://abetterrouteplanner.com/ https://abetterrouteplanner.com/) or the maps from some of the providers themselves like Electrify America (https://www.electrifyamerica.com/locate-charger/ https://www.electrifyamerica.com/locate-charger/).
- Youden 4y agoAh, good catch. So the situation in the US is pretty similar to Europe: there are plenty of fast chargers along the long-distance routes.
