Here's a website that lists charging stations in VT I'm not familiar with Teslas but do they need a specific type of charging station vs other electric cars?

They come with the adapter for standard level 2 chargers, and adapters can be purchased for any 220v outlet as well.

Most major towns have chargers, I was visiting family in the Northeast Kingdom last year and had no problems charging in St J, Newport, and Littleton. With a 300 mile range, the real issue was that I couldn’t charge overnight at my family’s place, so I had to plan a trip out two to town in order to charge. Not that the local businesses complained.

Thanks for clarifying...i don't own an EV but I'm aware of some charging stations in the area. I wasn't sure if they were universal to all EVs

Tesla makes Tesla specific super chargers from my understanding. Faster charge time, less waiting around

The "faster charge time" thing WAS true in 2012, but is not anymore. Hasn't been for a few years now.

A few companies are deploying 150 kW now, and 350 kW stations are coming, but Tesla's 250 kW stations are still years ahead in terms of count and speed.
