That's something I've noticed in the US as well; gas stations are all over creation, easily visible, they have giant signs along interstates. I'm familiar with several long stretches of major highways and interstates, I could not take you to a charging station off the top of my head, nor do I think I could find one by highway signage like I can a gas station. I'm sure they exist but they haven't called my attention to themselves.

As far as I can tell, car chargers are all over the place but often hidden away in the back of parking lots. And a lot of chargers require you to make an account or download an app.
