In fact, we go several days without even bothering to plug in because we know whenever we do plug in the car will be at 90%+ before morning.I also have an L5-30P (twist lock 120v30a) that I use at marinas. But again, it's just convenience. I could just as well charge from 15A circuits on the pedestals for the amount of driving we do.In reality, the Supercharging network is amazingly robust and well positioned at this point. There's some inconvenience in charging up before you head out into wilderness or whatever, but a 200 mile round trip back to a Supercharger is nearly 100% covered in the US. And being from Arkansas, I am SUPER jealous of your Virginia coverage. In addition to all the Superchargers, there is a huge amount of Tesla destination chargers and J1772 chargers throughout your state, at great places like bed and breakfasts, wineries, breweries, markets, restaurants, and just random people who like EVs and want to support the migration.It's good you have the equipment to give you peace of mind, but I suspect you won't use it as much as you think you will. I've literally only ever used my NEMA 14-50 at home, but assumed I'd be using it at campgrounds like every month. It just hasn't been necessary.</blockquote>
