The country will need to increase its charging footprint by more than ten-fold if it hopes to reach its end-of-decade target.

It makes much more sense to put the chargers in places where you park your car: At home, at parking lots and at work.

Gas stations. No.

Fast chargers at sizeable gas stations make sense. Sheetz has already been putting them in at some larger locations.

My favorite are the chargers at buc-ees. Get to buy some beef jerky and a bbq sandwich while charging.

Sheets hasn't Tesla has been installing them at places like Sheetz.

Anyway, it looks like the NACS is winning the standards war, so everyone will benefit from their early investment.

It probably just depends on the location then cause I charged my ev6 at 2 different Sheetz on a trip I had a couple weeks ago.

Not just Tesla and not just NACS. Other charging networks using CCS are going into Sheetz as well. I know I always stop at two Electrify America Sheetz locations on the PA turnpike whenever I drive it.

QuikTrip has been installing EV chargers for years now, but they also offer a lot more amenities for long stays so they're in a position of strength.
