> A standard wall outlet will charge a car perfectly fine for your average driver assuming you can park the car for several hours.
"several" doesn't convey the reality here. It's a lot of hours. My partner has an EV and coming back from work it gets plugged in and by noon next day it is still not charged up to what it was before going to work the day before.
It kind of works because here they only need to go to work twice a week and not on consecutive days, but on rare occasions when consecutive days are needed it requires a trip to a commercial charger.
> You’d only be spending 10 minutes charging anyways to carry on.
No. They drive to whole foods and spend an hour or so waiting around to charge it up enough to get to work and back (not 100%).
It takes a lot of committment and careful planning to drive an EV. For an occasional commute like here, it's mostly ok.

What kind of outlet are we talking about here. Either this outlet is somehow very limited or the commute is very long.
