There’s an App for that…

I’m researching ahead of buying an EV. I’m strongly leaning towards the Subaru Trailseeker. But I’m wondering if there is an App where people offer their home fast charging or even just a spare 220 outlet for a fee? I’m thinking that a lot of areas I might visit won’t have EV chargers readily available. Is that a thing?
Edit: Thanks everyone for the helpful suggestions and information. Certainly anyone wanting to go from ICE to EV has a lot to learn. We used to say “running on fumes”, when the fuel gauge sat on empty, searching for an open gas station on a long road trip. Good to hear that route planning apps and more infrastructure has made that less of a concern with an EV. Someday there will be signs posted on lone highways “No EV chargers for the next 100 miles”, like there are for gas stations.

Towing Qs

So, went into my local dealership and got to see the Uncharted and test drive the Trailseeker. Understanding car salesman often “know” less than the average Subaru owner, I just wanted to see if anyone here has answers about towing. I was told the Uncharted won’t have towing capabilities for two reasons, the car isn’t tuned/cooled/designed to tow, even though both the Solterra and Trailseeker are rated for towing. Is this correct? Also, I was told the Trailseeker can be ordered with factory installed towing equipment, but the parts don’t even show up on the configuration options. So, is towing something for next year’s models? I have a Space Trailer with an iKamper Mini mounted on it, fully loaded both are under 1500lbs. I would love to get the Uncharted if it offered towing, but seems DOA as an idea. Thoughts, suggestions, or actual informed info welcome. Thanks.
