As a current owner of two ICE vehicles who has only rented a few EVs, a concern of mine is locating charging infrastructure when traveling on long trips. It seems like you really need to plan ahead since Level 3 charging stations are still currently limited and signage isn't always great. It's not like you can just look for the gas station at the next exit. I've tried a number of apps which map charger locations - some for various brands of charging stations and others covering them all. The information often isn't comprehensive or up to date.
I would suggest the Community UX have a feature the clearly maps out your nearest Level 3 charging stations and make recommendations based on remaining range available. It should filter out stations with incompatible connectors, Tesla stations not open to other vehicles, etc. It would be great too if the feature would show when the last time a fellow Scout charged there to help confirm the station is actually functional and compatible. An option for Scouts to report charging prices per kWh (similar to GasBuddy) would also help drivers make decisions.
Just my 2 cents...
