There is no need to charge for an hour today unless the car is first gen EV or the charger is not a fast charger. The fast charger roll out could be better, but it's expanding quote rapidly, only in the most rural places is it a major issue... That said I have seen cases where people add 30 mins of a diversion to a route to use a fast charger for 30 mins.

- jeremyw 3y agoHmmm. I've charged publicly ~100 times on the Tesla network (mostly cross-country, but some long city stays) and I've had to wait briefly twice.
- igrekel 3y agoI've had an EV since 2019 and did a few longer trips, including outside teh normal charging networks and I only had to wait fun line twice. It IS annoying when it happens, especially when I was in the middle of nowhere and the charger was being used by a pluggable hybrid
- tails4e 3y agoI've never waited. 95% of my charging is at home. The other 5% is Tesla superchargers and have never waited. At most 90% of slots taken, so close, but never had to wait so far.
