Ok Fair enough, it will work for some but it sure as hell won’t work for all maybe not for most. It would not have worked for me or my wife while we working with our commute.

Nothing works for all.

“It would not have worked for me or my wife while we working with our commute.”

A common plug-in charger is rated at 40 amps, plus or minus so we are talking roughly 8 kw.

An EV uses about 0.25 kwhrs a mile. A round-trip 100 mile commute would use 25 kwhrs. Or about 3 hours charging time if your battery is low. That is about 1/3 the capacity of many EV’s.

In the real world topping off is done at a slower rate, taking longer to charge that amount.
