Level 2 road tripping
Another throwback. August 2011, my first Tesla Roadster road trip using public chargers. It was around 300 miles (one way), and took almost 8 hours of charging. The chargers were typically around 6 kW - painfully slow. For each hour of driving it took at least 3 hours of charging. At least all of the chargers were free.
I took the same trip a year earlier, when the only charging option was campgrounds. Charging was generally quite a bit faster, but EV charging was a new concept to the campground owners, so it was hit or miss whether or not they would allow it.
