. This is if all the fast chargers were working. If you ran into a broken charger, replace charge 30 minutes with charge for 6 hours . I know people who wereSo, for the last 5 years, I’ve driven a Tesla and charging is a breeze. I have a level 2 charger in my garage, and with 300 miles of driving range, I never need to charge for running errands around Tampa. For trips, the Supercharger network has been great. I did notice a couple of issues on my 1000+ mile trip to North Carolina.
Even around town it isn’t ideal. I had many free Supercharger miles from referrals, but I would rarely use them for in-town driving since all the Superchargers were by the interstate , while all the places I go regularly are north and east of my home. I’ve encouraged all 3 of my children to drive electric cars or plugin hybrids. All three lived in apartments last year, and this year all will live in houses. When I wrote, my point #7 was that you don’t have a place to charge it.
So, what did my children who had electric cars or plugin hybrids do last year when they lived in apartments? My daughter with a Tesla would spend an hour charging at a Supercharger twice a week — not ideal. My son only lived a mile from his work, so he could go weeks without charging. When he would take a trip out of town, the Supercharger was on his way, so not a problem.
