I am seeing a lot of conflicting information, so I figured to get some feedback here. We are relocating from Long Island, NY to Boca Raton, FL this summer/fall as my company is paying for us to move down there. We aren't sure if we will find a place to buy given the bonkers real estate market, so we might end up renting short term. My company will be opening an office in Wynwood, Miami and I will be commuting 3-4x a week from Boca. My company said they will have charging stations at the office we would be building, but we might be in a temporary location until then without them. I contemplated possibly selling my 2019 Model S Raven (range 280 miles) because of the inconveniences that charging might be for me until I get more situated., but I love the car and it's only got 6k miles on it and I got a good deal from it at the time. I am not a far of the newer refresh either and can't imagine any other car I'd want at the moment.
Here are my questions:
1) I might not have access to a charging station at home given I might be renting. I might need to charge via a regular 110v outlet, which I know is extremely slow and expensive. I was shocked to see there is no Supercharging location in Boca, although I see one is coming in 2021 at some point. For now, looks like closest one might be in Delray Beach, depending on where in Boca we move to.
2) It appears E/V can get access to the Express Lanes on the I-95 a zero cost? I want to make sure Tesla Model S is considered part of this and I am not going to be surprised later on.
3) Any other recommended charging stations along the I-95 or Florida Turnpike? I was surprised to see not a lot of Tesla Superchargers across the I-95. I guess I am used to the NJ Turnpike and having easy access to them right off the expressway.
4) I hear traffic is awful going down to Miami from the north. I'd love to hear some tips, tricks, advice for doing so. Google Maps says 1 hour give or take during rush hour from Boca to Wynwood, but I am expecting worse.
Any other advice is welcome!
