Re: Tesla Model S
Most people don't have a NEMA 14-50 at their house (high speed 240v charging), so if you're staying at a friend's house using 120v you might get 60 miles max (15 hours). That would cost < $2.50 in electricity. I think most friends or family wouldn't mind (I'll bring beer to compensate lol). That would be enough to get you to the nearest supercharging station assuming you had planned ahead. There are also public free stations that get you 20mph, if you can stay overnight near one.
The upper midwest is the worst for supercharging for now, they're working to expand it. And people with Bolt's or Leaf's or non Tesla's in the next few years will have a much harder time finding really high speed charging for road trips. Nissan chose Chademo, GM is using some DC combo, everyone has their own standard which makes is worse for everyone.
