Texas plans electric charging stations on all interstates

I also haven’t ever arrived at a supercharger that wasn’t functional, and that’s really the selling point: the UX of knowing that when you road trip, there is no anxiety. You will plug in, there will be power, you’ll only be at the charger 20-30 minutes, and your credit card will be automatically charged when you depart. Contrast to non Tesla networks where the entire state has been down for days at a time (Missouri about half a year ago).
Tesla spent $800M on their Supercharger network globally to have this competitive advantage, and it covers most of the developed world; it is crucial for them owning the network to guarantee the experience to their customers (versus relying on independent charger networks for their customers’ long range fast DC charging needs).
