[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can charge any EV with a standard wall outlet, it'll just take a while. There are a lot mroe electrical outlets around than gas stations, so you can use a standard outlet in a pinch. At least to charge enough to where you'll be able to get it to a high-speed charging station.[/quote]

Tangent question: who is paying for the free charging?[/quote]

I have an Airbnb and guests have asked if they can charge their cars over night. I googled and it's supposedly about $5 worth of electricity to fully charge a small EV. I offered to charge them $15. No one has ever taken me up on it. :-)[/quote]

How would you know if they charged a vehicle? Do you check your electric bill after each stay? What if the guests just liked the AC set at 60 degrees? [/quote]

All guests set the AC at 60 degrees. With the windows open.

To answer your question, they'd need to run a really, really long extension cord right past my front door to charge their car. Unless it's one of those really cute little ones they can tuck under their arm and charge indoors.[/quote]
