For Demetri Spantidos, a Weston, Connecticut resident who works as a network engineer in nearby hedge fund-rich Greenwich, fast charging his Tesla Model S (http://www.electricvehiclechat.com/tesla-model-s) is now a way of life, made possible by convenient state-run public stations.
"I don't charge at home much anymore," Spantidos told me. "I was doing that, but the utility actually called me to point out that I was using $50 to $100 more in electricity than I did before. Now I stop at the Greenwich Superchargers on the highway every two days, and check email or surf the web while I'm waiting. I'm used to it; I even drove to Florida once on the Tesla network."
