I would rather charge at 10Kw than use a J1772.
I've toyed with the idea of buying one to keep in the car since my original mostly stays in the garage, but for the amount of time I'd need it with me, I'm not sure if it's worth the money. (Once in the past 6 months / 13,000 miles). On the other hand, I've had two flakey UMCs that refuse to connect and generally act funky, so the idea of having a "spare" is kind of attractive to me.
We have lots of 90 amp and a few 100 amp J1772 stations around here, and since I have twin chargers, I often charge at 16 kW or more at public J1772 stations.
I also purchased an extra UMC and keep it in the trunk. It will become my backup charger if the one in my garage dies. I also don't want to be stranded anywhere if I'm short on juice.Bought a spare which stays in the car. If something were to happen to the one mounted in the garage then I know I have a backup to use while I wait for a replacement from Tesla as there is no service center near us and expect it would take a few days, best case.
Ok I'm a newbe (two weeks ownership). Love the idea of a full charge every morning when I wake up. I will probably never need to recharge (when out and about) but I feel the need to pack the mobile connector in the trunk every time we leave. Paranoid or what? Do you pack it every trip out of the house or just leave it at home? I'm not talking about any expected long trips but I am rural and my trips usually run anywhere from 30 to 150 miles when running into town.

I also carry a 25-foot 10-gauge 120V extension cord.
I have the 30' 50 amp extension cord and have to wrestle with it, 50' must weigh nearly 80lbs!I bought a 50' 50 amp. 240 volt extension cord to take on trips (with my UMC, of course) in case I can't get close to power. For instance, at a friend's summer home I could throw it through a window and hijack his NEMA 14-50 stove outlet. That cord weights a ton! Takes two people to coil it back up.
