Can you charge from home? I have a house with off street parking and sufficient electrical service, that I installed a level 2 charger for about the cost of a new electric stove circuit. It’s so nice always being charged for local trips. So far I’m good for 200 mile round trips, and I just plug in at night if I’m low. This is more convenient than how I used to have to go to a gas station every couple weeks
I have a 400 mile one way trip coming up, so we’ll see.
In 8 months, it’ll be only the second time I’ll need to use a supercharger. Otherwise I never need to go anywhere to recharge; I simply plug in at home overnight when it’s low. It’s the same as keeping a phone charged: it’s just always ready.
So I did some route planning as a what-if. Looking at a map of superchargers, there are many along my route - it seems like every town along the interstate has at least one. Letting the software figure it out, it recommended two 20 minute stops. On a trip that easily runs nine hours if there’s any traffic, 2 20 minute stops aren’t really any different than I would plan anyway: how fast do you scarf down your French fries and cheeseburger?

Yes. But I am referring to multi day travel not daily travel.
