i've driven electric (bmw) since 2014; charging at home at 120v overnight was always adequate if driving less than about 70 miles the following day.
if i had to drive more, an hour on a 240v L2 charger would cover it.
there's a HUGE amount of fear-uncertainty-doubt in the news which looks conspicuously like propaganda, and one can guess where it originates. it sure doesn't originate in those of us nerds who are 10 years into pure electric, and absolutely not for those with 240v at home.
btw in just shy of 80,000 miles, the maintenance costs on the first ev was all of about 200 dollars, and that's a bmw. had to buy tires too, so not counting that, since everyone buys tires.
