I have little experience with using electric car chargers in Europe, but in the States, we have several companies that own car chargers and you need to sign up for a membership to access the chargers - you pay for charging through the application on your phone. Some car chargers are free while most have a fee based on time and/or electricity usage.

As far as I know, Hertz (which rents out Teslas) do not require you to return the car on a full battery.
Thanks.

The BMW website says 300 km, which is about 186 miles. But if it's only 100 to 120, I'd be cutting it fine distance wise. I might need to look at a conventionally powered vehicle.
