    I suppose I’m not the type to camp like that. I usually stay in each location two or three nights tops. Also, I don’t think I’d feel comfortable relying on solar to get me home, even if I was in the same spot for a week. If the weather changes to rainy/overcast and I’m getting 100w instead of a kw, I wouldn’t want to be stranded. I’m also not a fair-weather camper, and go out in all conditions, which could be considered unusual.

      Yeah, this is my scenario: stay for a week of hiking or going to the beach. I live in New England where everything is close and there are plenty of superchargers.

      For example Acadia National park is 280 miles, has dozens of superchargers enroute, and lots of hiking.

      Or there’s beach camping like 20 miles away

        Yeah, I’m in the northwest of the US and often I drive for hours after leaving the pavement, then move on the next day.
