These will be the first to get implementation. Infrastructure will grow organically as needed and as economically feasible. Depending on the mix of solar and wind there is already a growing surplus of daytime electricity.
Also, not considered is the grid upgrades to accommodate such installations. Nightly charging of cars takes advantage of the grid and production already available to service the peak loads in the daytime. A trucker with flat batteries at 10am, isn't going to wait until 8pm when there is excess capacity available to recharge. If the truck stop is say 10miles from the power plant, it could easily be $10's of millions to upgrade the lines feeding a truck stop.
