Slavery has existed for thousands of years (and sadly exists to day), yet people still go to see the pyramids, and the other “wonders of the world”. We buy trillions of dollars worth of goods from our enemy China much of it built with slave labor, yet we still buy their stuff. I’m ok with folks not buying a product or component there of on moral grounds, but be consistent. Check the labels and don’t buy from countries that use slave labor, or are our enemies.
Kind of hard for me to take a stand against slavery in another country when there are many people in this one that work for profitable companies, but can't afford a decent standard of living.
Also, how do we determine who is "Enemy"? All my life Russia has topped the list. Now we have congress critters and other talking heads supporting Russia against democracy.
And we sell weapons to the last country that attacked US, killed on US soil, to use against counties that have never attacked US.

As one of, if not the largest fuel company in the USA, I expect Pilot to aggressively provide support for electric trucks and cars. It matters not how many chargers they install, it won’t be enough unless charging times come way down.
Yes, will take a lot of chargers. But shortly after I retired some truckstops started taking reservations for overnight parking. By law, a solo driver must be parked for 10 hours. If could do that while hooked to charger you had a reservation for, not much reduction in productivity.
