I moved from Tesla to BMW i4 (I had a quite significant disagreement with Elon when it comes to international politics), and I was worried about finding non-Tesla charges. I took a few long distance trips so far (US Northeast), and I had zero problems. Plus, if you are lucky, you get 2 year free charging from BMW, and they've enabled plug-and-charge recently. So, you just plugin, charge and drive away, mostly for free. Not bad.

Electrify America is great.

A good one but too little (usually just 2 or maybe 4 handles) and far between. They have a very long way to go.

One thing they did right was require a credit card scanner right on the machine. No app!!!
