Alternatively, take smaller stops more often. It's so much better to stop every 100km for like 15 minutes to walk around, get a pee break, or whatever, than to endure 4 hours of sitting in one go.

    A 15 minute break every 50 minutes would send travel time through the roof. I went on a trip last week, 900 miles and 12 hours each way. What you propose would mean going from 2-3 5 minute stops to 14 15 minute stops, and would increase the travel time from 12 hours to 15.5 hours.

    12 hours of sitting with 3 5 minutes stops is unbelievably bad for you. 12 straight hours of driving is unbelievably bad for you. None of that should happen, ever. Even if it's your job. It's bad for so many reasons. If you frequently subject yourself to this, you actually need to be forced to take more longer breaks, your body and mind will say thank you for it. 12 to 15.5 is hardly through the roof, it's what, 25% increase? It honestly should be more.

    Anywhere where people live. Which is, incidentally, where people are.

    Cars go through places where people don't live, and that is one of the best usages for cars.

    That's the magical part of population density. If a lot of people travel through the area, this area, almost by magic, develops facilities that cater to traveling people. If not a lot of people travel throuth the area, then, well, it's not a lot of people so their experience and needs shouldn't dictate how the rest of the world operates. The rural america from those states that nobody quite remembers the names of, in particular, is not representative even of the US as a thing, let alone the developed world.

    All over Europe basically.. I highly doubt you will find any place im Europe that hasn't a DC charger within 50km .

    By law they have to be every 50km on highways but of course you dont have highways all over the place
