If you're doing a 600 mile road trip in the USA, it's already hard enough at times to find worthwhile places to eat without also limiting your choices to those with fast chargers nearby. Same for lodging if it's a really long trip.

This isn't an important use case for a lot of people, but's it's much more important to me than commuting :)

Lodging only requires a Level 2 charger (because you charge the car while you sleep) and many hotels have them. Most don't even charge you for the electricity, in my experience.

There are many more of these "destination chargers" in the US than fast DC chargers.
