Depending on the state, I’d much rather have a bio break, snack, and stretch my legs at a rest stop. Picnic benches, shade and a view, even a pet relief area. Many have water stations to refill bottles. Does require I’ve stocked the car with meals and snacks. In general filling stations lack the nicer amenities, most just suitable for gas and go.

Imagine if you could just hop on a train to achieve the same thing. EV Charging doesn’t need to exist because personal vehicles don’t.

most of my longer drives are 500 to 600 km with one or two short stops along the way. if there were a wagon that could start fully charged, and leave me with 250 km of range at my destination after those two short stops, I’d be interested in it as my sole vehicle I don’t really see how it would make this work for me without that capability. I don’t do daily commuting so that aspect of charging at home doesn’t appeal to me — I already only fill up maybe every other week at most

There is a beautifully located DC charger overlooking Lake Geneva (of Smoke On The Water fame)
