Depends whether they have access to 230V power. I’d want at least a 3.5kW charger, charging at half that would be miserable.

3.5kw*12=42kwh. That's like half the capacity of a fairly decent range EV.

How many people are really driving 240~ miles per day? Practically nobody...that's like 3.5 hours at motorway speeds.

Inb4 the typical response of "every American commutes 99999 miles per day!!!"

Charging at 1kw at home would be perfectly fine for average use cases.

		Seems like it could get annoying if one wants a full charge but has to plan up to 4 days in advance, compared to a 10 minute gas station run.

Why do you care how long home charging takes? It’s not like you have to hang out in or around your car while it’s charging, the way you do when filling it at a gas station. As long as your car charges enough overnight to make up for your average daily usage, you’ll be good.

		I had level 1, but it was just ridiculously slow. Still charging on a Tuesday, from going low the weekend before, was stupid, and made me unable to go some places. If you go above your average, it super sucks. I don't want to fill up, and I don't want to sit 10x longer than filling up with gas, at a charging station.

		i do charge at home, i have 50 Amps , fairly average around my area. I do charge at supercharges once every 3 months. I do travel ~20k miles a year. I never limit myself on when to go just because of charging.
