Of course he does. But a standard house power connection does not deliver the amount of power you need to charge a car.
So you need to build a charging pole at your house if you want to charge ar home. Which is another investment.
And if you are in a somewhat remote area and there are not many charging poles around you, you are also very limited in how far and how fast you can travel.
So there really is no point investing in a charging pole and an EV car if the car is not capable of doing to the same things that a gas car can do.
EDIT: thanks for the responses. I'm still not convinced that electric is a good option for me, but some issues seem to be fixed or not as bad as I thought.
Still, within my price range it will take a while before I can pay one.
Well, it is enough for my car.. You don't need 50kW if you charge over Night (same Like you don’t need fast charge g, if you charge your phone over night)
Remember the yanks have pink fluffy girly 110v electricity. They've only just been told about kettles and they think a microwave is a cooking device
I just learned that you can steam broccoli in the microwave and it's such a time saver!
