Electric car charging stations head to Love's Travel Stops across the US:
[Electrify America] announced Tuesday a new collaborative effort with Love's to install charging stations at its stops across the US. Five locations are already open as of today in Oklahoma, New Mexico, Utah and Florida. Crucially, the stops now open helped complete a nationwide charging route from Los Angeles to Washington, D.C.
The new stations will charge at rates up to 350 kilowatts and can add up to 20 miles of range per minute. Ultimately, Electrify America's goal is to continue chipping away at America's range anxiety about electric cars. With more places to charge, it will be mighty difficult to run out of juice. Of course, the company's also bound to invest the cash as part of a Volkswagen dieselgate settlement here in the US...
Will such partnerships vanquish range anxiety for electric vehicles (EVs)?

It could have been Pilot, which only seems to locate at major highway intersections, where you can already find multiple competitor's fuel stops.
Love's can be found in little towns that no one has ever heard of, at both major and secondary highway intersections.
EZMart may have been a better choice in the south and southwest, because they are even more ubiquitous than Love's. Of course, few EZMart stores have the parking area to accommodate a dozen vehicles being charged.
In other regions, other chains may be better choices.
