wouldnt do it, dont recommend it.

My work has a free charger and I have a level 2 .3 miles from my house but I rarely use it

I don’t have the luxury of a wall charger where I live.

Do you live in a home with an ordinary outdoor power outlet? That’s plenty if you have a PHEV. You use the Level 1 charger that most cars come with overnight, and you’ll be full in the morning.

If you live in an apartment or some other home with no outdoor plug access, don’t get a PHEV. A BEV would be more viable, especially if you have public chargers around.

Club has a few that live on boats. Buy enough range.

Model 3 is what most buy, charging once or twice a week as needed while shopping or dining.

I know two people in this situation. One of them has free supercharging from Tesla for as long as he owns his car so he charges at superchargers. And there’s one that’s fairly close to his home so it works out well. One of my employees just bought an EV and he discovered very quickly not charging at home Was a real problem because of the mileage that he needs to do. He’s getting a charger installed this week. He’s got 380 km optimum conditions but real world he probably has about 300 km range. We drive anywhere from 150 to almost 300 km a chef so he needs to have charging at home so he starts off the night fully charged. I have a charger at my place so he can top up when he picks up his inventory but He’s not starting off from full so it still eats up time.

idk what electricity prices are like in the UK,

but in the states (california, where electricity is $$), there are a loooot of guys who own older, pre-refresh model S’s that seem to predominantly supercharge at night instead of home charge

this is a supercharging lot near me - in a commercial complex’s parking garage structure, 2nd or 3rd floor

the guys only show up during “off-peak” (~22¢/kWh) charging after ~10-11pm-ish, and the app indicates its very busy between ~10pm-2am (busier than daytime)

at ~10pm+, every single stall is occupied, and there’s a line/“waiting” area. the supercharger caps you to ~80% SoC to manage the congestion.

this is when most of the office workers, retail workers, and retail customers at the complex have gone home for the evening (it’s not a “nightlife” area) - so the model S owners are only there to charge while waiting in the car & go

the math must be working out if the charging schedule & off-peak works out for you

the demographic looks like the folks who drove e46 bmws back in my school days, when f30 bmws were just coming out - its like they all received a memo to switch from bmw 3 to tesla S
