You can throw a charger in the trunk, and plug it into a 110v outlet whenever/wherever needed (might want an extension cord too). Not a great recharge time, but can help top up the battery or get enough to get to a faster charger.

One electric car company needs a $400 220v home converter to charge the battery to 80% in a few hours -I’d buy an electric car when all, and I mean ALL gas stations have charge islands where you could charge up your car in the same amount of time as it takes to fill up a car with fuel and gives your at least 400 miles and won’t run down in the winter when you have to run the heater or AC in the summer. Then too, if your car dies from lack of battery power, an AAA roadside service truck could charge you back up in ten minutes or so enough to get you to a service station. Hopefully the newer cars in the future won’t have to have their batteries swapped out every three years or so to the tune of $3500+
