I am in the SF Bay Area. Am I correct to assume the only places within Nor CAL right now to get DC Fast Charger is through the EVGo vendor?
If ChargePoint has these stations, are they plentiful?

I decided to go cheap and not opt for $750 DC fast charge. Having owned now for 2 months, I am not yet regretting my decision, because it appears the network still hasn't gained traction and using L2 at 24/miles or 12/miles an hour is sufficient.

Any thoughts? Thanks.

Jon

Sufficient for what?

If you only drive to destinations less than 200 miles away, you might be okay, but I suspect you can’t make it to Lake Tahoe due to the elevation gain. You need about 20 kWh more, easy to add at a DC fast charger along the way, over three hours to add with Level-2.

In eight months many more chargers will be open, especially Electrify America but others too.
