I always carry a 100ft extension cord for exactly the cases that I need to visit someone while already pushing the envelope of the range. So, besides daily charging at home and at work, I have been charging at a friend's home during a birthday; at a volunteer appreciation night; at a Celebrate Recovery meeting; at a Habitat for Humanity work day; at the home of a cat lady that needed her yard cleaned; at a local church while I drive their van to transport a group of people for a weekly meeting after work; at a parking garage of a local shopping center; in the parking lot of the Computer History museum; in the parking lot of a training center that had outlets on the light poles; at the apartment of a friend that needed his electric Scooter moved and this is besides the various times using public charging infrastructure.

Hi Ben, Just wondering how much does it cost you to charge your EV? My typical cost in power to recharge my Leaf daily was less than $15/ month or about 50 cents per day/charge, averaging about 60 miles per day 6 days per week. And to the others here, regarding 120 volt plug ins everywhere...this has long been one of my arguments for EVs. As in which scenario would receive a warmer welcome. A stranger at your door with an extension cord and a $5 bill asking to plug in, or a stranger at your door with gas can, and siphon hose with a $5 bill asking to buy some gas out of your car? The point being that you can usually find a residence or business that will let you plug in if you are in need.
