Here is what I have found out from one article:
Which Really Costs More: Charging an EV or Filling Up Your Tank With Gas? https://finance.yahoo.com/news/really-costs-more-charging-ev-232722262.html

20 hours for a slow charge from a level 1 charger that costs $600? Does that sound reasonable?

“20 hours for a slow charge from a level 1 charger that costs $600? Does that sound reasonable?”

My Tesla friends have 220v systems in their garages. Level 2. They charge at night and it certainly isn’t taking 20 hours. They also use chargers at shopping centers and at their jobs. 20 minutes gets them 150-200 miles of added range. Two of these guys have been driving Teslas for 7 years and I’ve never heard them complain about charging being a problem.

One of our group leased a Toyota Mirai, powered by a fuel cell. She constantly complained about the lack of available fueling. A great car, high performance, but a real problem finding places to gas up.
