Train said:Interesting the author considers 45 minutes a "rapid" charge. I would it consider it anything but rapid. Tesla appropriately named them Superchargers.
If you get there and they're all being used, now you're waiting an hour or more.
put the charger at nearly any kind of destination area and it will be fine. I rarely spend 45 minutes at the grocery store mostly because I shop several times a week (benefit of my screwed up work hours, I am available to shop during their slowest periods) and am frequently in and out in 10 minutes but other places like Costco its easy to spend that much time just parking and going thru check out (although I always use self check out because it so much quicker)
When I QC now, I frequently spend the first 10 minutes puttering around before I even get to the "waiting" phase and that is at a gas station that has nothing close by except its convenience store.
