It's true that there need to be more fast chargers, but it's also true that this notion of "no charging network for CCS cars" is making less sense every month.
You can get across America and Canada on CCS chargers. For example on Petro-Canada or Electrify America (and there are more charging networks than just these two):

A Better Route Planner is a good tool to try out routes in various models of EV to see how easy or hard a given trip will be:

Europe sensibly standardized on CCS type 2 Combo so any brand of car can charge on any brand of charger. Even Tesla is finally opening their chargers to all brands in Europe:

Eventually Tesla will do the same in North America and that will make more CCS chargers available.
