Well I'm in between Detroit and Ann Arbor. Sure there is a AAA about 3 miles from my house with a charger (not that that matters because I have a charger at the house). That was the thing with the EV though: It was for commuting: Its range was longer than my daily commute. I'd leave in the morning with a full charge and plug it in when I got home; the next morning it'd be full again..For 3 years I only went to a gas station to fill up the RV (or to fill up the wife's car)
Sure I'm aware that there is a big country out there with no chargers. Heck just "up north" here in MI and you're in plugless land
I always wanted to take the EV up there behind the motorhome as I do have an charger I can plug into the 50A plugs at campgrounds to charge up the EV, or PHEV. (Never got to with the EV, but have taken the C-Max all over the place and charged it up in campgrounds).
C-Max charging:
The EV camping (and charging)--yeah a Focus Electric:
This was before I had the 50A charger so it was using just 120V. The C-Max is using the 50A charger in the other pic, however. In this pic the charger is sitting on the picnic table.
