I have no personal experience with this, but several forum members of the site I mentioned above have written that they have never been refused a 120V plug-in (which, again, would have been enough for the author to complete his trip--provided that it wasn't fueled by amphetamines and a mason jar). The have also written that hotel managers are often amiable to allowing 240V charging when there is an available socket. I also just checked plugshare.com: there are at least half a dozen public J1772 charging stations (which are relatively high power) near the route segment where the author plausibly had range anxiety. Why he chose to charge at Butch's Lunchonette when there was a high power station nearby is baffling. What is doubly baffling is that he launched on a 209 road-mile trip with 185 miles of estimated range, and then made no attempt to recharge the car until he was nearly stuck (if you believe the numbers on the little map inset). So, I'm afraid that I can't escape the conclusion that this is a problem of the author's making.
