With a 200 mile+ range car you need far fewer DCFC than with a 75-100 mile range car, it's no where near 20 thousand. This is for long distance travel between cities, as you know most EVs are charged at home or your destination. No one wants to stop every 75-100 miles to charge, it's impractical for LD travel if displacing the ICE (Teslas stated goal)
Look for Teslas announcement tomorrow, 3X the SuperChargers by the end of 2013, enabling coast-coast travel in a Model S. Elon let the announcement out tonight at the All things Digital conference: http://allthingsd.com/tag/elon-musk/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
