Has 56 stalls. Middle of nowhere.

Harris Ranch may go to almost 100.

Baker, CA has CCS right next to it.

Every new supercharger has been V3 for a while. V4 is coming out soon.

We don't need those in residential areas where people charge at home and slowly. It's not like the residential gas station that people feel up now for their weekly driving. We need those a long major traffic routes. Maybe in some areas with lots of apartments.

Most new houses in the US had 200 amps at 240V for years. That is some 40 kilowatts.

You have to look for industrial sized electricity. Not residential. This is an industrial hookup.

Anyone looking at the map of Tesla chargers can see that my comment represented the situation fairly, whereas you found 1 oddball charging site in the entire United States and present that as if it's relevant - and it's still just 250 kW chargers anyway. That's intellectually dishonest IMO.

You have a strange agenda, to be arguing with people who would like to see more electrification. There's no good reason for you to be misrepresenting the state of affairs.
