If you're up in Neah Bay, WA (and I have been out there in the past so this isn't a fantasy scenario) and suddenly realize you need to charge, you need to drive over an hour and ten minutes to Forks, WA. But they only have a 250kW charging station, so you're going to need to wait 30-40 minutes. Now if you need to get back to Neah Bay, you're going to spend a total of 3 hours.
And, for my case, Neah Bay, WA is closer to the nearest charging station than where I most typically am for work.
If you _live_ in Neah Bay, you likely use your home charger. There are also slow chargers in nearby hotels for tourists.
If you are traveling, through then you just plan to have enough charge to reach the next charger (50 miles away in Forks).
I know that area well, I travel through it every several months. It also does not have a lot of gas stations, and the existing ones are about $1.5 over the regular price per gallon.
