Honestly, I think most of us need to consider having n=2 Level 2/3 chargers in the next 5 years. I think hybrids will largely dominate, but my question is starting with each of our domiciles and then radiating out to the grid. And if the grid can support X number of houses at the 240V level.
I just have never thought deeply about this before. I’m wondering in the NorthEast and the cranky and ancient infrastructure if this can be supported.
