Obviously I'm being a little sarcastic, but I'm serious as well. ABRP answers about 90% of such questions, and plugshare.com answers the remaining ones ("how reliable are the chargers at XYZ location?"). Source: 5 months ago
You can check recent check-ins at those chargers and find others in https://plugshare.com. Source: 8 months ago
HOWEVER, you can setup to charge at a J1772 Level-2 charging station which are ALL over the place and often free. Checkout plugshare.com to find them. These are essentially fancy 220v chargers and can be converted to charge power banks and onboard batteries.... The question then becomes the legality of doing it in your area. Some places are designated "EV charging only." You're not an EV. Some places, like Oregon... Source: 10 months ago
Before taking a trip and planning to rely on public chargers, check recent checkins to make sure the chargers you plan to use are working properly and to identify backup options just in case: http://plugshare.com. Source: 10 months ago
Use plugshare.com to find EV charging stations near your gym, grocery stores, restaurants, and other places were you spend some time. Not as inexpensive or as convenient as having a charger at your parking space. But probably much cheaper and convenient then your solution. Source: 10 months ago
Typical EVs will charge at 7 - 11kW on a standard public charger, which'd give you your week's worth of driving charge within 2hrs. I'd have a look at plugshare.com to see what else's around as seems you'd be quite fine if you can overlap with something else (work, shopping, etc.). Source: 10 months ago

IME, I've had no issues and this concern is overblown with a little planning ahead. Use abetterouteplanner.com to help plan the route, check charging locations in plugshare.com and have a backup plan in case any are down unexpectedly. It's worked for several > 1K mile trips. Source: 11 months ago
The real answer is to go to https://plugshare.com (or use the app) and zoom into your neighbourhood and look for both slow and fast chargers. Read the pricing and reviews of each charger you might find convenient. Some areas are simple to live with public charging, other areas are charging deserts. Source: 11 months ago

Check plugshare.com to see what's available in different areas - you can filter to the connector type. You can also use abetterrouteplanner.com for route planning. Enter your car type and it will automatically limit to the right connector type. Source: 11 months ago

Plan your departure so that your charge stops are at times when you would normally stop for a meal anyway. Have that meal while the car charges. Use abetterrouteplanner.com to plan the route, and plugshare.com to verify the status of the chargers on that route. Source: 11 months ago

Rental company should at least have advised you of tools like PlugShare, which would have helped you find a fast charger that could have topped the car up in under half an hour. Source: 12 months ago
You should a) check how regularly those chargers are occupied b) check time limits on said chargers c) check the cost (not all are free). Use plugshare.com to find out more about those chargers. That being said, I don't charge this way and I've had an EV for 4 years, so maybe someone who has done this can chime in. I use level 2 as an opportunity to get a few miles as opposed to getting any meaningful chunk of... Source: 12 months ago
I'd suggest using plugshare.com to see if there are Level 2 chargers near you. Set the "plugs" filter to only J-1772. Eat dinner or grocery shop while you're charging, or change parking garages and charge during the day while you're at work. Source: about 1 year ago
I've only had mine for a week and a half, but I think your chances are fairly decent... But, it wouldn't hurt to check a better route planner or plugshare to see if there's are places to top off along them way. Source: about 1 year ago
