This. Using a standard 120v outlet my hybrid vehicle can get 50 miles in a 12 hour charge overnight.
Most people don't drive over 50 miles a day.
And this is just with a standard wall outlet. Using a 220 outlet like a dryer or RV uses I could be getting that same charge in ~4 hours.
And my car charges slow AF because it's a chevy Volt hybrid. Most electric vehicles charge at double or more the speeds as mine.
Range anxiety isn't even a concern once you realize you can top off your vehicle literally every night if you wanted to. And your daily driving isn't really all that far.
A small up front cost of installing a proper charging setup at home, and you'll be saving money within a year from all the gas you don't need to be buying each week!
