You charge at the hotel.

I just checked the website of my go-to hotel in Florida, the Sheraton Sand Key (390 rooms), and they have precisely one charger. It is free, but that makes it even more unlikely it'd actually be available.

No doubt the charger situation is rapidly improving, but it seems there's still a long way to go to match the convenience of gas. Long charge times can be mitigated by "destination charging", but if a major hotel chain like the Sheraton only has a single charger at a tourist hot-spot location like Sand Key (by Clearwater), then it seems we've still got a ways to go.
