Saw this article this morning:

 

http://www.greencarreports.com/news/1092490_nissan-to-launch-plug-in-hybrids-too-in-less-than-two-years

 

Until all EVs have the battery range of a Tesla and/or there are as many EV charging stations as gas stations, it is a sad reality that a plug-in hybrid is more practical than a short-range EV - at least for anyone who might want to take a road trip. For most errands around town, the Leaf would be fine, but I occasionally have to take longer drives. I can't afford to have 2 cars.

Some cities are taking a more aggressive approach to install free 240v charging stations to help encourage purchase of EVs or PHEVs.  As we too only have 1 car, we chose the Fusion Energi PHEV as we mostly drive short distances (<20 miles) around town, but need to be able to go on longer drives.  Here in Sarasota, FL there are 4 free charging sites (city parking lots/garages) with a total of 7 charging slots all within 1 mile of our condo.

Doing a quick check of Sarasota it shows 13 on the Chargepoint network, don't know if those are the same ones you mention - but here is their site to check for charging points near any location:  https://na.chargepoint.com/charge_point
