minus-squareUlrich@feddit.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2arrow-down4·edit-212 hours ago You explained how it’s doable when you drive 60 miles Read it again. I said 60 miles the day after driving it to 0%. People don’t “usually” need this. Average EV has 293 miles of range currently; even if you arrived home with 20% battery remaining and you only wanted to recharge to 80%, Thats 176 miles of range. People don’t “usually” need that. At least once every few months we take a day trip to the nearest “big” city, which is 105 miles away. You said all of this already and I already replied to it. I’m certainly not saying that a L2 charger is a must for…most people. But I would not agree that L1 is enough for most people. 🤔 Wat. Do you think there’s like a L1.5 or something?
minus-squareRivalarrival@lemmy.todaylinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·4 hours ago Wat. Do you think there’s like a L1.5 or something? There’s the option of a level 1 charger at home, supplemented with an occasional stop at a fast charger. The L1 charger is not quite enough to keep up with their usage, but their usage isn’t enough to make an L2 absolutely necessary.
