I think it's common knowledge that long-distance trips are the second-most challenging use case for EVs (towing long distances being most challenging). Tesla has gone a long way towards eliminating the long distance travel issue for Tesla owners. Opening up Supercharger network to non-Tesla brands is starting to ease that concern for those other brands. Now we're starting to see other efforts coming into play that will further reduce the difficulty and stress of travelling long distances with EVs.
Love's is increasing their installation of DC fast charging stations at all of their highway corridor Love's Travel Stops. Pilot / Flying J has already started doing the same thing, in conjunction with GM. But while Pilot / Flying J is more over-the-road trucker focused, Love's has more of a family friendly vibe and will likely draw more casual travelers. The cool thing about the Pilot / Flying J setup is that it is designed for EVs that are towing. The chargers are positioned so that vehicles towing do not have to uncouple to fit into the charging bay.

Now they can have super expensive electricity to go along with their super expensive gasoline.
