Arnett's trip was undoubtedly glorious. The photos really do tell the story of his adventure. But his words tell a different story. Without a charging infrastructure, EVs can be downright impractical. His overall trek took him hundreds of miles out of his way to reach a destination only 200 plus miles from his homes. Accounting for the countless hours lost while charging and the extended driving times in search of charging areas, Arnett had little time to enjoy the destination of his drive, Yosemite.
For EVs to reach practicality, 15 minute quick charging stations need to be available not only in large west coast cities, but also in the countless other rural areas of this nation that we travel to and from all of the time.
For now, EV owners must faithfully plan ahead, but for EVs to reach stardom planning a road trip should require nothing more than a map.
It sounds to me as though somebody really ought to sponsor a 240 volt charging station at Yosemite.

We might want to hold back the push for Tesla chargers everywhere just now. They are still hoping to use J1772 connector someday soon (once they become available). I guess if the wait for J1772 is going to be too long they could put in the Tesla proprietary at first then change it later, but that would be more trips out there, and more cost spent on a temporary connector that would become obsolete.
As soon as I saw Doug's post on the Tesla blog of Bill trip my first thought was of "outsiders" using the charging scheme as a rallying cry for EVs not being ready.
Tesla took a bit of a risk putting the story out there/
