    I can’t imagine why you’d think that.

    Yes. It takes a bit longer, but most people would charge at home.

    You only use the fast DC chargers when you go on long trips.

    There would just eventually be enough spots anyway. Supply and demand.

    With my EV, you don’t “go to the gas station” unless you’re on a road trip. In your day to day travel, you just always have enough juice.

    It’s actually a lot nicer than a gas car in this respect.

      Honestly, it makes sense for any business off of a highway that sells things to provide fast chargers. They still take several minutes at a minimum to charge, so you have a captive and probably bored customer. Seems like a gas station, restaurant, whatever would quickly make back the money spent on charging infrastructure in increased sales from people who’d rather shop or eat than sit in their car for a half hour.

        Exactly. This is the same reason as why convenience stores make the profit to support the gas stations.
