... and public transit investment? Or are we just trading our big problem for a slightly less big problem...

I'm excited to see how we upgrade everyone's houses to handle charging. I don't think my house can handle it without spending thousands to upgrade. Not to mention adding chargers to all apartments and condos.

Why doesn’t your house meet the requirements out of curiosity? I think most dryer outlets are 220 and I’ve been told if you can run a dryer you can charge a car. My parents just use the standard 110v outlet and are happy.

My panel is full. I'd have to have a new outlet at 220v added and upgrade the panel. Can you charge two cars on the same circuit?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

Yes you can charge two cars on one circuit, you just need a more advanced charger that can either load balance between two connectors simultaneously or switch between them when one's completed. It's probably cheaper to just have a single normal charger and alternate days they're plugged in though. That's what we expect to do once we switch our second vehicle over to EV in the next few years.

Ahhhh. I didn’t think of that. Having an electrician out is never cheap.
