Resort and vacation EV charging: how much should it factor into where you stay? / Vacationing somewhere remote enough that the nearest fast charger is a real detour, so on-site (even slow) charging genuinely matters

Vacationing somewhere remote enough that the nearest fast charger is a real detour, so on-site (even slow) charging genuinely matters

What people actually reported
Cabin lacked charging; fast charger 40 minutes out
“Nearest fast charger was about 40 minutes out, so I really felt it.”
@tmoberg_
Lodge Blink L2s handy with no DC fast charging nearby
“The Blink L2s there were really handy. Not fast, but that didn't matter when we were sleeping there anyway.”
@linda_shelby
Free casino L2 brought car to ~80% in 3-4 hours
“I plug in, play for 3-4 hours, and the car's around 80% when I get back.”
@ron_kaczmarek
Cottage had no charging; missed it more than expected
“We stayed at a big cottage up north that had nothing, not even a decent outlet near the driveway, and I missed it a lot more than I expected.”
@greta_lindholm
Booked remote lodge because it added on-site L2s
“It's a long way from any fast charger, so having a plug on site was the whole reason I felt OK booking it.”
@mark_vossler
Onsite L2 affects booking far from big cities
“Anywhere that's a long way from a big city and you'll be driving around the area a lot, onsite L2 genuinely affects where I book. Even a slow plug is enough.”
@vern_tsosie
Wineries with destination charging suit short stays
“I'm around DC and about 8 wineries out in Loudoun County are listed on PlugShare as having destination charging. Same idea as the lodge, you're there for a couple hours anyway so a slow plug is plenty.”
