Bob Bruning a is a great evangelist for 110v, L1 charging at work using existing 20 amp circuits. Way cheaper than L2 when parked 6-9 hours. He built a solar Prius

And how closely you have looked at the SuperCharger network? Your usna.edu address indicates Maryland? If so, you can drive a Tesla all up and down the east coast and to Chicago and beyond. And, soon, MANY other places. Drive a couple of hours, then take a head and coffee break for half an hour. I agree that the vast majority of charges should be done overnight and without depending on public J1772s. And that the commercial development of J1772 networks is a great disappointment. Using that charging infrastructure on a daily basis is far too expensive and far too inconvenient. It is nice to have as an emergency backup. Though RV parks are more useful and more prevalent. However, where the SuperCharger network is built out, road trips are very easy and convenient. Especially with a 85kwh battery. I've posted of my trips from Texas to Kansas and Texas to Wisconsin this past winter. South of the first SuperCharger in Normal Illinois, that trip was quite tedious. From Illinois to Wisconsin and back was smooth as silk. In the near term, I'm looking forward to having Texas connected to Florida and Georgia and to Oklahoma, Kansas, and Colorado. THEN I will really be doing some traveling!
