Actually in the Parks. If you are camping in Sequoia for a week, you don’t want to make the drive out of the park to charge.

This brings up a couple of interesting questions.
1) How many national parks have (enough) 3 phase 480 to support 200+ kW chargers?
None of the Joshua Tree campgrounds have electrical hookups, there are no restaurants or other operations that would need 480.
2) Can a private company put equipment in a National Park for the exclusive use of their customers and not the general public?

Probably not to #2, and as for #1, there aren't that many gas stations in national parks either. I suspect that inside park boundaries, the emphasis will more likely be on Level 2 charging -- after all, cars spend many long hours parked at trailheads and campgrounds. I would only expect fast charging to be about as prevalent as gas stations -- probably clustered near-but-outside-of entrances with the occasional in-park offering in very developed areas.

This is where I hope some of the 500,000 charging stations the Biden administration wants to facilitate might land in National Parks.

This. This. This.

California has its tesla chargers. We need the RAN in the mountain coast.

Also, there appear to be zero CCS chargers in the state of Wyoming. We very much need a way to drive from Denver to Jackson.

We need chargers between Minneapolis and National Forests, National Parks, and State Forests in Northern MN.

And up the north shore of Lake Superior.

And one at Tobies Restaurant & Bakery in Hinkley, MN so I can charge while I eat some caramel rolls.

@stephenheuer - Wondering how you like your e-tron? I was thinking of one, but no third row. Still might get a used one while waiting on the R1S.

Here is a recent video of a long trip with the e-tron.

Not gonna lie, I wouldn't mind those massage seats...
