Good luck trying to get that level 3 speed in some hick ass place like Oregon coast or between butt fuck hope to yeehaw Calgary. ItÂ’ll still suck. Most of these places have level 2 or a crappy level 3 that can barely output 60kwh

Oregon coast is fine, 40 miles btwn 250kW 400V.
The plains (N/S Dakota, Wyoming, Montana) are ~100mi btwn 350kW 800V.
New Mexico is the worst, 150miles + between 350kW ones.
Keep in mind, these 800V cars will have 50-150% higher charge time on 400V superchargers.
GM 350kw becomes 250kw on 400v
iX3 400kw becomes 200kw
Taycan 320kw becomes 150kw
Ioniq 270kw becomes 100-120
Lucid Air 300kw becomes 50kw
Peak figures quoted but GM/Taycan/Ioniq really hold their max charge rate till 60% or so.
