I have arranged to rent an MS for a little over a week in October, driving from NY to Vermont, via New Hampshire with my family on what we call 'holiday' and I think you might call a 'vacation'. I'm a Leaf owner, M3 deposit holder and have good general EV knowledge. I thought it would be great to rent a Tesla and get a feel for it.
Advice and pointers for a British EV driver in the US would be most welcome. Superchargers are easy, no problem there. But destination charging, both the official Tesla sort and just plugging into a socket in a rented house or hotel ... I know less about that. Can I use an extension lead to charge from a 110V socket? What about 'drier outlets' - are they are higher amperage, or a different voltage too? What about public charging outwith the Supercharger network - what's the best source of information for their location, do I need smart cards to access them?
Thanks in advance for any help or advice you can offer.
