Obviously I can dig enough negative responses on Tesla Charging Stations and present them vs a perfect experience at CHAdeMO station (For example, can they charge more then one car at a maximum rate at the same time?). But this is a topic for a separate discussion.CHAdeMo on paper is a good alternative and should allow city to city travel, but in practice most charges are nowhere near the CHAdeMO spec limit and take more than 2X as long to charge, even though they charge a heavy premium price, often over $20 per charge. Many timeout after 30 minutes, because they were not designed to charge larger batteries and over heat, meaning you have to pay for 2 or more charge sessions to fill a larger battery. Quite a few are at dealers and are only usable during business hours, and frequently blocked. Also a surprising number just don't work, making them very unreliable and often force the driver to switch to a J1772 site near by, and spend many hours charging just to get home.
