It works for us! We charge with a level 1 at home and get 60-80 miles of charge overnight. I find the charging infrastructure in Richmond to be quite poor, actually. But you can definitely manage if you can charge at home. Best case scenario is if your workplace has a charger in your parking lot, but I find that rare.

Wow that would be nice, but the guy that owns my office building is definitely not going to be doing that anytime soon 😂 Can I ask which type of EV you have?

Subaru Solterra! Not many out there - we have problems charging outside of home because there is only one compatible charger in RVA

I had put a deposit down originally but with the whole extra waiting and such, I canceled mine. How do ypu like it so far?

We really like it - super nice inside too. We weren’t on the wait list, we just bought it off the lot, so I can’t say we did a ton of research beforehand. It does have less range than other EVs but it’s still plenty for our purposes. I think the number is 230? I would recommend it

Why the Subaru and not the Toyota?

I don’t have a good answer, honestly! We already had another Subaru so we just ended up there first. The solterra is built off the Toyota base
