In my little rural town of 35,000 I "think" we have one public charging station that is actually built. The two car dealers have one each but I don't know if they are accessible. We recently had a guy on FB having a fit because his rented EV needed a charge to get back to Las Vegas and he couldn't find one. Sucked to be him, I don't know if he ever left town. Near Barstow is a roadside ripoff store, gas station, etc and they have a row of about 6 chargers. Sometimes they are being used, other times not. Most EVs need that boost at Barstow after being in Las Vegas and now going back to SoCal. I fill up my truck in Pahrump, drive at 70-75 to SoCal, putz around a bit and then come home, usually on the same tank of gas. If I do need gas in CA I do just enough to get home. It does help to have a 48 gallon tank, until fill up time. :(
