> anywhere he can charge without waiting for 45 minutes?

Not sure what you're saying, there are places to charge, but it takes a long while. That's what caused the big delay in the trip.

> there's EV chargers literally every 10 miles or less on all major roads.

Right. There is no lack of available chargers on the way. The issue is having to stop and wait a long while.

We don't have a tesla, but charge at the tesla fast charger station near the house, they work for our car. Took 45 minutes to bring the charge up enough for a round trip to SF.

> Because the charge curve on basically all EVs starts high at a low state of charge, there's basically no reason he'd have to wait more that 5 or 10 minutes at a stop to continue on his trip. 45 minutes is absurd.

Amusing when people are so confidently wrong. That's exactly how long it took to charge. Not to a 100%, but enough to be able to do a round trip to SF.
