I used them when I went on a 930 mile trip to Florida. A couple of times other than that.

I don't think it makes sense to own an EV without being able to charge either at home or at work. Locally it costs $0.37 kWh at a Tesla Supercharger and $0.11 kWh at home.

Tesla also has people that service their equipment on a regular basis. Don't know about the other charging networks.

The reason Ford changed to the Tesla plug was because CEO Farley went on a trip in a F-150 Lightning and had loads of trouble getting it charged.
