I have a Nissan leaf and installed a level 2 outlet at my house to avoid this.
It charges overnight so I wake up and drive to work with a full battery.
Since I usually use it to commute it’s perfect.
I have had to use chadmo stations (level 3 and slower than Tesla stations) when on longer trips.
That takes about 45 minutes to fully charge?
Usually I just top up so I can get home if my range is a bit short.
Some of the newer EVs can use super fast charging stations and fully charge in under 20 mins but those stations are rare. I think to get widespread adoption we would need cars that can hyper charge (or whatever it’s called) and those chargers to be all over.
