I stumbled across this video about the state of EV charging in the US. I found it very informative. You may also.
Sorry, I stopped at 4:00 of 19:50 because the bovine fecal matter was too removed from reality:
NEVER, NEVER, NEVER, let someone else tell you what your requirements are ... unless you want to be played 'the fool.'
- $24,000 for 2019 Std Rng Plus Model 3 - Tesla gave me $18,300 for trade-in of a 2017 Prius Prime that could not replace our 2014 BMW i3-REx.
- 3 years, 58,725 miles with 232 of 240 mile range - the Tesla SuperCharger network is dense enough that after the start of day, 100% SOC, we go in 120-150 mile segments hopping from SuperCharger-to-SuperCharger with 20 minute recharging sessions
This YouTube is neither accurate nor useful.
- What is the trade-in credit for your current ride? - this sets the likely purchase price and let the seller dispose of the old car.
- Do you have at least a nightly 120 VAC, 12 A outlet to use at night? - this can sustain urban range. If you have a dryer outlet, problem solved!
- What does Plugshare show as a route for favorite weekend or vacation travel? - be sure to check comments and match either CCS-1 or Tesla fast DC charger plug.

The first four minutes were enough to realize the author of the video lost me. His requirements do not match my 3 years, 58,725 miles of 2019 Tesla Model 3 Standard Range Plus.My God, you didn't even watch the [whole rjw] darn thing . . .
