yes. we simply don't have the capacity to have charging stations everywhere like you would gas stations and it would be logistically infeasible. then you have the issue of politics dictating where the stations go and for some odd reason many of them are in the worst areas imaginable. one of the few charging stations near where i live is smack dab in the middle of the hood. imagine this; > on road trip > need to charge car  > the car tells you to go to mlk boulevard where the closest charging station is located  > you look for a different one but it is outside the range of your vehicle > herewego.jpg > you take the exit and arrive into the heart of darkness just off the interstate  > you wind your way though the rough streets where the tumble weave blows and arrive at your destination  > it is next to the worst run mcdonalds you could ever eat at, a questionable chicken place and what appears to be the charred remains of a chuck e. cheese's  > a fat black prostitute aimlessly walks the parking lot you find yourself in > off to the next watering hole she could be going  > you'll never know > you see all of the charging stations are missing their lines  > crackheads stole them for the copper  > except for one station  > you pull up next to it and plug in > as your 45 minute wait begins you realize nighttime is falling  > as this transformation begins you see the dim street lights begin to blinker to life and the urban youth begin their nightly activities  > you realize the longer you stay the more time you're exposed  > you don't carry a gun because you drive a glorified golf cart > your only defense is your wits and your wits led you here  > you look at the time till charge  > 40 minutes remain  i've had sketchy fill ups but never something i had to stick around for.
