Not even close - there are roughly 2x as many SuperChargers as CSS stations. Also, CCS stations are clustered around population centers and not optimized for long road trips. Lastly, CCS charging can't be built in to the purchase price of the Bolt.

All of these facts are directly from TFA...

As a car driver, I've never taken or wanted to take a long road trip in any car. If it's more than 2 hours away, we fly or take a train. As an EV driver, the DCFC stations in population centers are what's needed. They're what let me drive to the next city over in my Leaf to shop, eat or visit people. The companies building these things are putting them where the demand is.

>>People don't take thousand mile road trips every day

Yes they do. Everyday thousands of tourist drive from BFE to Orlando, it's one of the reasons stretch of I-4 along the attractions is the deadliest in the US (too many tourist that all drive differently).

It may not be common in your region of the world, but it is extremely common in other regions.

And certainly many people routinely drive 200-300 miles or so for a weekend trip--to rural locations that aren't going to have much in the way of charging infrastructure.

If you're going from pretty much any major city to ski areas, mountain hiking, kayaking/canoeing, etc. you can easily be looking at a couple hundred miles or more. You may not do that but it's a very common weekend activity for many people in urban areas.
