After thinking for a moment, one is completely unreasonable. I have not seen a gas station with only four homes in decades, and that was in a small town well off the beaten path. I can refill the gas car in a few minutes. By contrast, a fast charger is generally updated to take more than 10 minutes and probably closer to half an hour. We need a much better count of how many charging ports there really are.

If these chargers are well off the beaten path then yeah, four might be okay because most people are going to be charging at home. However, on a highway people are going to be stopping to refuel their electric car just as often they're stopping to refuel their gas car. We need to ask the question of how many ports are available and that needs to be part of the data in some way.

Three, of course, is still far worse. On my last road trip to visit my mom, I kept an eye out for fast chargers since I do have an electric car that I could have taken, but I would have had a charger on the way. I saw exactly one station on the whole trip. Then I pulled up an app and, short enough, there were chargers all along the route. But, good luck finding them. They weren't obvious so to find one I'd have to pull up my phone or mess with the touchscreen on my car - either one instead of safely driving which is what I'm supposed to be doing at the moment. None of them were any places I'd care to stop for half an hour to recharge, even though I did have to stop for dinner along the route and so that would have been an ideal place but no chargers were any place I'd be eating.

The current situation is better than nothing. You can make road trips an electric car. However, it's still not anywhere near as convenient as a gas car. And that is my larger point. Electric cars need to be more convenient for road trips.
