If charging were as ubiquitous as gas stations, would the same ultimately be true of e-towing?
Stopping for 20 minutes every two hours isn't as prphibitive as people like to imagine.
There is a limitation imposed by the size and cooling capacity of the battery too, although that improves every year.
The current marketing buzz phrase is 20 minutes to 80%. Daimler is proposing 3,000A and 1.25kV https://insideevs.com/news/535918/megawatt-charging-system-e...
You have to think in terms of fillups per hour or per minute that a standard gas station can process. If every one of those 1, 2, 5 minute fillups now takes 30 minutes to several hours, that translates into gas stations having to be parking lots and parking garages that can hold hundreds of cars, and a doubling or tripling in travel expenses and travel time. A million trips now need whole extra days and associated hotel stays and meals and generate a million extra junk boredom purchases at rest stops just because what else are you going do while waiting around for the charger?
Anf this is all in the mythical world where high speed charging stations actually exist in all the places where gas stations currently exist, and all actually work at full speed, and your car is allowed to use any of them. That world is not even close to existing, and doesn't do the job even if it did.
A new passenger EV designed for range only has to stop for 20 minutes every 6 hours and this is dropping quickly.
The lack of standards is also a purely US thing. The rest of the world has some sanity.
So like bucees?
Chargers are not overly expensive, and very little driving consists of 500km road trips. Unlike petrol stations they require very little dedicated infrastructure and don't stink.
The overwhelming majority of charging will happen over a regular 20-40A circuit in the places the car parks anyway.
Truck stops will get a little larger, but will be competing with every cafe, tourist shop, and shopping mall on the route to get people to stop and charge there instead. The people that don't want to stop for a coffee will be able to use a 750kW fast charger which will take no longer than a petrol bowser.
You can also try the slower charger, but it is really hit or miss regarding compatibility with your car. Yes, everything has CCS, but what's the point when you can't start charging session because there is some software incompatibility. Happened to me repeatedly.
