This made me think of another edge case... but one thought here: Hawaii is an island (well, lots of islands). The need for DCFC to support road trips is about non-existent. So, I could see why Tesla and others are not installing much DCFC hardware - low demand. It has been a few years since I was in Hawaii, but I think I remember lots of Teslas on the road there.
In most European countries I have visited (Iceland, UK, Spain, France, etc.) there were public chargers everywhere. Particularly in France, it seemed like owning a BEV would be pretty easy for charging. I recently traveled to Greece, and I only saw one public charger - it was a BMW L2 EVSE on the wall of our hotel. Owning a BEV in Greece would suck bigly if you needed public infrastructure of any kind.
