I forget, did the government also build all the diesel and gas truck stops and gas stations? Is it such a money loser that the government has to be called on to foot the bill?

The money is only going to the big three GM, Ford and Chrysler since they have the UAW. Tesla uses their own money.

I was referring to the idea of hauling a gas burning generator along. I mean now you have to haul gas for the generator so you can recharge the electric truck.

A large supercharger network is a necessity if EV's are to be realistically useful.

KOA Campgrounds To Begin Installing EV Charging Stations

EV charging stations will get a boost from the infrastructure package

Tesla Semi gets out for a quick charge at Megacharger

Putting those 2 links together - now it makes sense.... I believe KOA has (or is trying to) figure out a way to use the stimulus money and get some for their parks. Adding EV stations, now they can get some of that money. Probably improve their power in general.

And seeing charging stations in West coast state and county parks and campgrounds too.

Should also happen with national park and forest campgrounds with the administration's build back better plans.
