I'm trying to say that location count is more important than stall count. Stall count is still important, but a wait is a minor inconvenience in compsrison to not being able to travel on the north shore of the St Lawrence too far north of Baie-Saint-Paul because all the northern charging stalls are concentrated in that one location

Having driven all the way to Havre Saint Pierre with many, many detours on route, it's less of an issue than you'd think. There are 50kW chargers every 50km or less, and L2 chargers in every tiny town.

I get that this is about Tesla and Superchargers, but their network will continue to expand at an insane rate, because now every station they install will mean more revenues for Tesla -- each and every day/week/month -- now, and in the future.
