Nice, but not the same. When you bring in the rest of the services, you
provide a way to provide ESVEs net zero regarding government funds. That
would likely bring much higher public support. And, of course, you have
more options while you are waiting for a charge.

You may see this in California rest areas (just the EVSEs). There have been
behind the scenes discussions about this.

In US urban areas, I don't know. But along US freeways, I'd like to see
something similar to what France did.
Every so many kilometers, there's a services stop. It's much like our US rest
areas except it has fueling servcies, convenience store(s) and usually some
food service choices. I believe these are contracted out to vendors, not
provided by the autoroute operator.
In the case of US freeways, what if we did something similar where the state
funded a bank of ESVEs (at high kW) at various rest stops and worked out a
payback from contracting service operators (food, etc.). Cost up front to the
state would be significant but, after some years, the cost would be zero.
By the way, these autoroute service areas are really convenient. Rather than
exit at some interchange, sit at various stop lights, and hunt around for the
services you want, you simply take the exit and park. Really easy. Then you zip
back on your way.

Should that infrastructure be the responsibility of the OEMs, of the growing

I would say that whatever companies/entities that want BEVs to succeed would assume the
responsibility. That is clearly not most auto manufacturers. OR most players in the
"charging industry". ONE stands out and, single handedly, is responsible for
the success of BEVs.
