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)?

    I have fuel issues with GAS powered. I carry extra GAS with me. Now, can I buy a trailer with Extra or DOUBLE battery oack on it? Then I am in.

    Also do not want cars - they are "roller skates" for a person of my size. The Suburban was good family - since there was space else where in the vehicle not just behind my seat. Now they have been shrunk - I can not even sit in the back seat - let alone the third row. I am looking for all wheel drive cargo van with windows. Maybe even a fully converted handicap van, since there back seat is move so the wheelchair and extra length in driver seats can fit.

    Get the Flying-J and Pilots in (same company)... Loves not close enough together nor near enough. Pilot is at the end of road just before the freeway.

    How tall are you?! Sounds like you need a big-ass Escalade.
