The charging time and having to have an extra 220 outlet to charge at home seems to be a nonstarter.

Not to mention the US power grid can’t handle it.

I could wire-in a 220V outlet in my sleep for an electric car.
...but I won’t. I still have to live with myself.

Neighborhoods are not designed for this type of charging demand, the transformers are not spec’d out for major daytime AND nighttime usage.

If you are heavily invested in making electrical cars our main vehicle, you will ignore a simple reality:
When there is no electricity like we had recently in N. Ca. due to the fires and PG&E shutting off power, your damn Lexus or whatever charger will not work.
