Bought used six months ago, haven't upgraded the outlet yet. I'm getting maybe 40 miles overnight off the regular garage plug. My commute is 22 miles round-trip, so on paper I'm fine -- but every weekend errand puts a small dent in the buffer and by Sunday night I'm doing math.
Fine for the commute. Nervous about anything more. If we drive to my in-laws (140 miles), I'm arriving with 20% and hoping their neighbor lets me plug in the alley outlet again.
The electrician quote for a 240V run was $1,800 because my panel is on the opposite side of the house. Not doing that this year. So I'm curious -- anyone actually running long-term off just the wall outlet? Do you eventually give up or does it work out if your driving pattern stays predictable?
