When you get in your gasoline-driven car, you have no worries about finding a gas station. There are something like 145,000 of them in the U.S. and they're near enough to you.
Likewise, all owners of an electric vehicle must have easy access to re-charging the battery or there will be no EV industry. That's why Tesla, for example, aggressively built charging stations from the start. They now have over "40,000+ global superchargers." And, of course, a Tesla owner also re-charges at home.
Not sure where you can re-charge? Go here to plan for those stops during your trip. Businesses like hotels and restaurants are encouraged to put in a re-charging wall for their EV customers.
With all car manufacturers pursuing the EV market, the number of gas stations is expected to slowly decline. Charging locations will increase. But don't expect to find one conveniently located at an interstate rest stop, because that would be illegal . . per a law passed in the 1950's.
