Last time I saw in 2017 there were under 500 registered in the state although 1/2 of them were in my county. We have 2 free level 2 chargers in a garage downtown, one Tesla supercharger station at a Marriott across town, some kind of charge station at the Nissan dealer, and another Tesla destination charger at a B&B some of my friends own that's actually pretty close to me. I think the Spark can fast charge on that destination charger and technically it would be on the way home ot to work if we did move out to the country. I bet even 10-15 mins on a level 3 would do it.
