Which bathrooms were you using instead?

How much charge do you get on these breaks? I assume they aren't charging stations.



Most charging stations are at restaurants or shopping malls. Yes, they are high power charging stations. I usually get 300 or so miles in my bathroom / beverage breaks. A full charge if I’m eating.


That sounds convenient.


It is! That’s why most EV owners look askance at the ICE/hybrid apologists claiming charging is such a horrific burden.


They are all charging and bathroom stops. On the Tesla charging network, you are stopping at: malls, hotels, target, grocery stores, or occasionally restaurants. In the absolute worst case they are at a place like buc-ees or those highway access 'travel hubs' with a food court in the middle of the highway.

I've only had one stop ever where the bathroom was a hassle, it was a 'locked for paying customers', at a mall Starbucks in Arizona.
