There's definitely some chargers, but the issue ends up being that you need a lot more chargers per mile than you do gas stations in rural areas, assuming you don't have a robust planning/reservation system.
You can easily fill a gas tank with 100+ miles worth of gas in just a couple minutes. Recharging an EV locks up a spot at a charger for a fair bit longer, even if you don't charge to full.
Driving through remote West Virginia earlier this year, I stopped at a couple 2-pump gas stations that were doing fine business because they were the only station on the highway for 50 miles or such. You probably couldn't get away with just having 2 EV stations.
