It doesn't. Why should it? The vast majority of driving is done within 50 miles of home, and the vast majority of EV charging is done overnight at home. Which means that if you don't have a charger available to you overnight at home, an EV is impractical to impossible. Providing EV chargers at apartments/condos is way more important to EV adoption than high speed chargers that you only need on road trips.

My typical motorcycle ride is a lot longer than that 50 miles. How do I go from Reno to Bridgeport, CA or from Reno to Susanville on my 2017 Zero SR with power tank?   I have 8KW of charging, but where is the 240 VAC that I can use to get to such places?


And I don't wanna stay overnight at an RV park.

You are in the minority, and electric vehicles will not be ideal or even viable for every person in every situation. Over time they will become more viable but you can't expect them to get better for the minority before the majority.
