1 year agoHow far are you actually going to be driving on your business trip? It might not matter because you might not need to charge at all.
I recently received an unexpected Chevy Bolt EUV as an Avis rental, which concerned me some because it is notoriously slow to charge. But in my whole 5 day trip I only drove about 150 miles, so there was no point in charging—and unlike an ICE car, they didn’t ask you to recharge before returning
With 90 miles of highway driving each way, you probably are going to want to charge once, and possibly twice if you drive around town a lot.
If there’s an L2 charger you can leave the car on for a while (ideally, overnight at the hotel), then you don’t need to think about fast charging at all.
