    Did this for 3 years with a daily commute to a different state - ~13h of charging a day on 120v was far more than enough. Obviously I’m lucky enough to have a outdoor plug available to the car area but if you do it’s completely doable.

      Same. I got about 2 miles of range per hour of charging on 120V, and my office was only 9 miles away. Easy peasy.

        Even that seems low unless it’s a giant truck, my Chevy volt can charge at like 4mph on 120V, and I think I have the charging rate reduced to not test my house’s 60 year old wiring.

            Indeed, and it’s also a much more practical unit that anyone can comprehend instead of kW.
