if you can charge at home, it’s a no-brainer, but I know people who say it’s no big deal to go to a charger every week
level 2 charger was $400 + electrician was same as a stove circuit, so less expensive than I expected. I could get away with less
you don’t need trip chargers nearby, but you do want them on route you’re likely to road trip. The closest one I’ve used is 100 miles away
you really need to be able to use Tesla Supercharger network. It makes travel so convenient
I did get range anxiety for a while, but never an actual problem. 1,200 mile road trip fixed that. The first leg from VpBoston to Virginia, my excellent (Tesla) trip planner scheduled charging stops of 10, 10, and 4 minutes, whereas I’d normally expect two stops and a meal, so not really noticeably longer. The final leg was a bit tougher, returning from upstate NY, but mostly because a lack of chargers. It ended up no big deal
No regrets, coming up on a year …

what do you do if you just straight up run out of charge out on the road?
Get towed or grab a generator and get ready to wait. Or get a plug-in hybrid for the best of both worlds.
