The Sunday afternoon after Thanksgiving this year, the wait to charge at Corning was about an hour. I was #6 when I entered the line; more cars entered to keep it that long until I left almost 2 hours later. Fortunately, all 8 chargers, including both portables, seemed to be working. There really is no alternative between Shasta and the bay area.
Williams to Shasta is about 160 miles with the last part uphill--too far for anything but the biggest batteries. So Williams wouldn't reduce the demand at Corning until there's also a charger at Redding.
My suggestion is to pave 40 feet or so of the field west of the present charger and make another row. There's plenty of room and nobody seems to be using the field. There'll still be plenty of room for walking dogs and late night toilet breaks.
