"But there's just no charging infrastructure!" (US Edition)

The network is more developed in the USA than it is generally given credit for.

I've said it before, and I am sure I will say it again: the charging infrastructure can be improved in lots of ways - and it needs to be.  But it does exist. Right here, right now.


Here's the North East - you can drive to Bangor, Maine or even to the far end of Nova Scotia

"But there's just no charging infrastructure!"

So often, people claim "but there's just no charging infrastructure" when new Battery Electric Vehicles are launched.

Then someone from the Netherlands published a graphic something like this one:

Jaguar I-Pace's range, with CCS DC Fast Chargers around the Netherlands

This picture shows all the CCS DC Fast Chargers in the Netherlands, and shows the Jaguar's range drawn over it as a big circle. (I've used the 240 mile estimated EPA range, in this case).

But what about the UK?
