The last level 2 charger I used added 15 miles of range over about an hour. I drove a Chevy Blazer, which undoubtedly gives different ranges for some amount of power. Not all level 2 chargers charge at the same rate. As a result YMMV.

The topic here is travel to small towns.

The solution is simple - plan ahead just enough to have enough charge to get back out of the small town.

That is a bludgeon masquerading as a solution. People are terrible at planning ahead. Even those who are good at it sometimes plan wrong. There are sometimes energencies which people have to deal with against their plans.

Eventually chargers will be everywhere, but not today. When gas was new in 1900 cars had the same problems.
