How do you want to live your life? Do you want to spend any amount of hours in a Walmart parking lot waiting for your car to charge? No, you want to eat great food or go for a hike or see an art museum or experience a lively downtown. And yet, so many of America’s fast chargers right now, especially across the Heartland, are located in Walmart parking lots.

If you’ve had the pleasure of charging your electric vehicle with any of the major charging networks, you’ve probably thought to yourself, “What do I do with the time I have while I wait for my car to charge?” That’s probably because the fast chargers in America were designed without thinking about the human experience.

The early adopters of electric vehicles have been greeted with a truly mediocre travel experience and it needs to change very quickly. Arriving at an electric vehicle charging station in middle America should be inspiring. The charging stations should bring life to downtrodden downtowns and starved art museums and unseen outdoor wonders. And those charging stations should have futuristic food and entertainment experiences attached to them.

This is what Elon Musk will do next. You thought his cars were well-designed. Wait until you see the charging station of the future. Imagine a charging station that is truly unforgettable and is designed in a way that says, “This is what good business looks like, and this is what a healthy society can be.” The charging station of the future will be a microcosm of new American life with healthy but delicious food, entertainment that inspires and teaches, and a high performance for-profit for-good business operation.
