There are MILLIONS of places to charge an EV. We have a Level 2 at home, and share it between 2 EV's - soon to be 3. We have 3 drivers, and that will soon be 4.

I have only ever used a quick charger about 8 or 9 times in nearly 2 years of driving EV's. We are getting more quick chargers, and that means we can take more longer trips.
I know that. I don't care about that.
I wanted to know how many super chargers there are since you were comparing a super charges to gas pumps.
Since the house charger doesn't do you any good when you are away from home and need power. Plus the subject of the post is "range anxiety".
