Reply to comment by w1n5t0nM1k3y in Stanford study warns against charging electric cars at home overnight by Kodiak01

This is interesting. One of my obstacles to buying an electric car, besides the price of the car itself, was the cost of getting a charging station installed. If I could charge it nightly from the regular outlet on my porch, that would save some money and make an electric car more affordable.

I'm hoping my current gas car lasts for awhile, but it's 14 years old so it might not keep going too much longer. When it finally dies, I want to at least get a hybrid if not full electric.

You'll be interested in this video and also this video if you have time and want to learn a lot.

GM recently advertised that they offer something towards the cost of charging stations. Of course, those rebates are added to the cost of the car anyway.
