Yesterday (Saturday) soon after noon I stopped at the chargers a bit off I-5 in Bakersfield on Enos Ln. Long line of cars waiting for the Electrify America chargers. Tesla chargers almost fully utilized, but no wait. And, get this, Tesla was in the process of setting up two mobile charging units in the neighboring parking lot, anticipating a higher flow of cars later. Massive truck bed battery packs with ~6 superchargers on the side.
That type of deployable infrastructure to deal with localized higher demand is pretty awesome. The rest of the infrastructure has a long way to go. Until you can or are willing to buy a vehicle compatible with the Tesla charging network, plan on staying near home.
