Fast chargers east of El Paso, TX to San Antonio, TX were spaced out on average 115 miles from each other. An 80% quick charge in the Mach-E gives about 200-220 miles of range depending on how you drive. Anyone who has done this drive on the I-10 knows everyone and their grandma are doing 90MPH or more and for the Mach-E that really drops its range so you have to stop every 115 miles for up to a half hour (assuming everything goes smoothly with the chargers).5.

Fast chargers spaced out on average every 50 miles would greatly increase the real-world usable range of Mach-E (and all EV's) and would lesson any concerns that if you find some that work you only have roughly 50 miles to the next charger vs 115 miles.
This was our biggest issue on a 3200 mile trip from CA to San Antonio, TX and back. You couldn't trust the "charge for ** minutes" to get just enough range for the next charger. We found ourselves going to at least 80% every time to make sure we had enough range to account for any charger issues.
