I was thinking the same about Rte 1.  SF to Carmel, especially.  I can't believe there's no Fast Charger in Santa Cruz, of all places.  Or Monterey/Carmel.  I agree that the weekend trips are an important part of this; during the week it's your normal commute, which for most people is under the range limit.  But weekend getaways are more like 3 hour drives.  For me, it's Napa to Mendocino - 3 hours - or Napa to Carmel - 3 hours - or Napa to Sonora - 3 hours or Napa to Tahoe - 3 1/2 hours.  From Half Moon Bay, where I also launch from, I "hope" I can get to Napa without a charge, but at least there's a few routes with an FC on the way.  But I can't get to Santa Cruz and back, and I can't get to Carmel, which is 2 hours, never mind get back.  Santa Cruz is a must-have.  Level 2 chargers just aren't going to cut it.   I would say Napa and Sonoma need FC's, as well.  that's a bit of a no-brainer, as well.  Tons of people head there from all over the bay area and NorCal in general.
