There are Tesla superchargers in the Presidio, Daly City, Berkeley, Oakland, etc. All you technically need to charge it is a regular 110V plug, but a 220V is much better.

I routinely drive from SF to Tucson--950 miles/14 hours--without stopping except for gas and bathroom use (I try to keep the stops under 20 minutes). I do not like sleeping in motels and when I need to get someplace I like to just drive until I get there. Not possible with today's plug-in EVs.
My condo has Tesla charging stations--around 10 of them in a building where maybe 1000 people live all told. It works now. It won't work when EVs really get either popular or we are coerced into them. But I doubt smaller multifamily buildings all over town have even what we have (we also have Zipcars). And to get what we have they had to drill through the building foundation and run special power lines from under the street. The road to an all-electric future is going to be interesting.
Anyway, I'm so happy that now when I want a salad all I'll have to do is go out to Van Ness and pick some greens from the median.
