Trying to figure out leasing/buying an EV with a place that has lvl 2 charging. Heard anecdotes that are mostly negative. How’s your experience been?

    Got it. I ask because I have a Tesla and my experience is pretty typical for any EV. I have a hardwired Tesla EVSE, but it just as easily could be a J1772 unit for use with other brand vehicles.

    As far as anecdotes, if you have L2 charging available in a dedicated parking space (so you can be sure to plug in every night), it’s a no-brainer.

    Imagine basically never having to worry about getting gas or fluctuating gas prices. You wake up every day with a full tank, and all you have to do is spend 5 seconds plugging in every night.

        Yeah, probably the most undersold feature of EVs. Even the pro EV ads show people “conveniently” charging at grocery stores. If you have a way to charge at home, you’re golden. I never really think about fuel unless I plan on driving 200+ miles in a day which involves a lot of other planning anyway.
