Tesla has 14.000 superchargers out there and more coming up all over.
When their trucks come I expect more pull thru chargers to be build.

Where are Rivians or Fords chargers?
See why Tesla is so popular yet
Assuming there is about 10 superchargers per station, that makes 1,400 stations?
Dare to compare it to 121.000 of gas stations? I still see signs "120 miles to next gas" on my travels, so shall I expect "1400 miles to next Tesla charger"?
I am just hobbyist here, but IMHO Rivians and Ford promote their electrics for what they really are >>> local grocery getters recharged at home garage. From what I read we do have tens of plug-in cars on US roads. Some of them 100% electrics, some plug-in hybrids like Porsche for example. You don't need Porsche charging stations, do you?
I actually like Porsche concept the most. 60 miles range on batteries = good for daily commute and grocery getting, but when you want to go for a weekend, or vacations, you fire gasoline engine.
