I live in the midwest and own a non-tesla EV, and the minute you get out of any kind of bigger cities your chances of finding a level 3 are quite sparse. There are a LOT of chargepoint level 2s, but level 3s seem to be at car dealerships who don't offer it to everyone, hotels that don't allow it for everyone, etc.

We did a 80 mile each way day trip to visit someone and bring them back and had to line up lunch in an area with no great food options so we could sit for the 30 minutes to get back up to 80%.

With it being cold in the midwest our advertised '280 range' or '180 range at 80%' never is even close to that.

It's like the olden days before really efficient ICE vehicles.
