With that said how will I charge my fully electric Chevrolet on a road trip? Right now tesla has invested tons of money on their supercharger network and it’s going to continue to grow over time. Do other auto manufacturers have an answer for this?

I wouldn't be worried about this so much. I do see charging stations popping up all over the place, it appears the way that this will go down is that charging stations will exist in almost any space where you can park a car, it'll take a while to filter all the way down, but the gas stations are going to have to adapt, which is good, because they will be able to sell something that other's can not, quick-charging for vehicles doing what you are discussing (cross-country). Battery technology that is in development right now will offer many times the energy density of what is available currently, and is expected to be fielded in 10-15 years or so. It might be possible that the need to recharge as often may also be reduced. Even if this happens, gas stations will still have to service commercial ICE traffic and other ICE engines, but for a while will have an additional product they can sell to the EVs, while everything transitions to electric, which will inevitably take a lot longer than 10 years, more like 20-30.
