where are there gas stations, let alone EV chargers every 100km?
Well in Germany you can charge at most gas stations along the highway nowadays. And for the off chance you can't, there are still charging/routing apps.
Anywhere where people live. Which is, incidentally, where people are.
That explains the lack of chargers in the Hoh Rain Forest. I thought I was going fucking nuts!
Cars go through places where people don't live, and that is one of the best usages for cars.
That's the magical part of population density. If a lot of people travel through the area, this area, almost by magic, develops facilities that cater to traveling people. If not a lot of people travel throuth the area, then, well, it's not a lot of people so their experience and needs shouldn't dictate how the rest of the world operates. The rural america from those states that nobody quite remembers the names of, in particular, is not representative even of the US as a thing, let alone the developed world.
All over Europe basically.. I highly doubt you will find any place im Europe that hasn't a DC charger within 50km .
By law they have to be every 50km on highways but of course you dont have highways all over the place
even the russian part of Europe?
Idk.. but recently someone drive a Tesla from somewhere in Europe to Beijing ..
So definitely doable.
where not?
Probably the nearest 1000km or so would likely have enough to get by on.
