Tesla spent $1B on their global Supercharger network. Does Toyota not have $1B to invest? Their market cap is $226B, so clearly this isn’t the case. Get building y’all.

Every Toyota dealer is a possible location to operate a charger installer team out of if so desired (for residential and level 2 requirements).
