Trying to figure out leasing/buying an EV with a place that has lvl 2 charging. Heard anecdotes that are mostly negative. How's your experience been?

It’s great. Had a 240v 50 amp circuit and a NEMA 14-50 plug installed by an electrician (you could probably do it yourself if you are handy but it’s a potential fire hazard so I wanted a professional to do it). Bought an EVSE, plugged in, and never looked back. I am never buying an ICE car again. There are federal and local tax rebates to install an EVSE in your home.
