    What state(s) would that be? I just checked PlugShare, and it shows plenty of fast charging stations even through rural states like Kansas and Montana.

    I guess Alaska would count, but even that’s pretty well covered from Anchorage to Fairbanks

      Wendover covered the issue in this video he made 5 years ago (so maybe it got solved), but you could not drive from Denver, CO to Dallas, TX from either direction. The maximum range of cars on the market combined with the lack of changing stations along the way meant it was impossible without getting stranded in the middle.

        5 years is a very long time in this field right now. 3 years ago, Aging Wheels made a video about how Tesla Superchargers were the only real option for a road trip. A few months ago, they released a video where they avoided superchargers because they were outdated technology.

        I just checked, and it’s very doable on most EVs. There aren’t a lot of good options from Amarillo to Wichita Falls, but most can cross that gap anyway.
