Electric vehicle chargers are proliferating in Southern states as fast food restaurants, stores and other businesses try to lure customers.

I have yet to see an EV charger at a fast food restaurant in Texas. It’s stupid that roadside restaurants on the interstate don’t have them. Starbucks, McDonalds, and Sonic are perfect locations.

Instead, you’re forced to stop at a Walmart or a gas station if you’re making a road trip.

I've seen a lot of Sheetz' with EV charging on the East Coast. Decent coffee and Made To Order food. That's worked pretty well.

It will be interesting to see how well it holds up now that I've traded my Tesla in for an Ioniq5. I didn't realize that a lot of Superchargers don't actually support non-Teslas, even with a NACS to CCS1 adapter.

I've been using PlugShare. You can filter out the Tesla chargers that won't charge an Ionic. Three roadtrips with my Ionic6, and its worked really well so far.
