I have driven 100k miles cross country in my 2018 Model S since 2018 and have never encountered a down supercharger (and primarily supercharge vs charging at one of my homes). It’s why we only buy Teslas (despite the shenanigans). YMMV. My friend with a Bolt doesn’t road trip after how hard it was to get it from where he bought it near DC down to Central Florida.
A plug in is a great compromise if you’re not ready to commit to a full EV and have range anxiety. The charging story will improve over time.
These maps seem to illuminate that I may have underestimated how much charging networks have grown, looks promising! Looks like at least most hotels offer some form of charging. Your anecdote about your friend though definitely drives home that range anxiety for me.
