I've always thought that Tesla or another charging company should partner up with McDonalds and install a few charging stations at their restaurants that are located right off major highways and interstates. Maybe dedicate 4 spaces with super chargers where you have to pay for the charge (I know it's free now in most places but it's not going to always be and I think people will pay for the convenience even now if it saves them from having to drive very far off the highway). It's a win-win for both: the person will probably have a drink or bite to eat while waiting for the charge as well as making a nominal amount to charge up the vehicles.

Also, I bet in the not-too-distant future, batteries will improve tremendously with much increased ranges and the time to charge will be reduced. I would imagine that there also may be battery exchange stations where you pull in and there is a mechanism that will drop the battery out the bottom of the car and install a new in a relatively short time. The wave of the future is definitely electric whether we like it or not.
