I'm now a Model 3 owner, but back when I had the Fiat 500e, I was actually surprised at how widespread Chargepoint chargers were in the Bay Area. The experience with those isn't 100% seamless. I'd wave an RFID card, and most of the time, it would work after a 5-15 second pause. I'd occasionally encounter a broken charge plug that wouldn't release, or an otherwise malfunctioning charger. Even with the piddling 87 mile range of the 500e, I'd still drive from SF to San Jose on a regular basis. I could pretty much depend on the availability of Chargepoint chargers in the South Bay. I even went to an event near San Rafael once, and found that the charger at the school was free!
