I typically need to fast charge ~5 times per year. I'm in Portland, and my father-in-law takes us to Oregon Ducks football games in Eugene 3-5 times per season, and it's about a 220 mile round trip. In the early season while it's still warm, I can do that round trip without charging with no problem. But in the later, colder season, running the heat drains the battery more and I have to charge on the way back. We'll also visit my wife's best friend in Seattle once or twice a year.
For daily driving...well...I work from home, so I could certainly get away with the 110 outlet. Though when I got my car, I had a commute 30 miles each way. I could have probably still gotten away with a 110, but I got a 220 anyways. I can completely charge overnight, and that's good enough.
But like...charging time for road trips is blown way out of proportion. I've driven from Portland to Santa Clara and back. I think people hit Google Maps, it tells them a drive is 10 hours, then they hit ABRP or their Tesla's nav, and it reports 12 hours, and they think "wtf driving an EV is adding 2 hours", but they ignore the fact that the Google Maps estimate doesn't include any stopping. No restrooms, food, or gas. I found that during the entire road trip, only ~20 minutes total was spent actually just standing around waiting for the car to charge.
I had a guy on a Tesla forum one time that told me that an EV would be totally impractical for him. His reason was because he'd need to stop for so long to charge on a little trip of ~500 miles (maybe a little less) and there might not be chargers.
It turned out, he that little trip was along major interstates in California to Disneyland. They were already stopping 3 times for at least 15 minutes each in their gas car.
He still didn't want a Tesla. That's fine, of course. Horses for courses. :)
I never did figure out why he was on a Tesla owner's forum.
