Many electric car owners discover that charging at home is not as fast as they expected. Using a standard household outlet, it can take more than 24 hours to fully charge some models. This is especially frustrating for people who drive long distances daily. Installing a Level 2 home charger solves the problem, but not everyone has the budget or proper electrical setup for it. Even with faster chargers, the charging speed is still much slower compared to filling a gas tank in a few minutes. This makes planning essential for EV drivers. Some users also complain about higher electricity bills when charging at home regularly. Slow home charging remains a barrier for many potential buyers who want the convenience of fast refueling but are not ready for the investment required to upgrade their home charging system.
