    It would be nice if there were some thought into charging stops. Like I want a halfway decent sandwich and a coffee while I’m here. Usually, all I get is the far end of a Walmart parking lot. If there’s anything in walking distance at all, it’s probably across a stroad with no pedestrian signals.

    Oddly enough, EVs are better in walkable cities.

      Charge stations should be on the Italian Autogrill model. Only in Italy can you get the best food in the country at a gas stop.
