I live rural and there are no chargers around me for almost 20 miles, the same as my one way commute. I easily charged that up in a night with L1 charging. I was also able to charge at work sometimes.

Also, you don't save money when you public charge. It's about charging at home. Going EV requires a mental change in how you "fuel up." You don't stop to charge, you charge when you stop.

I was on a L1 charger for a couple months and after the mental adjustment, I only public charged when I went on longer trips.
