Six months into owning this car and I still don't have anywhere to plug in at home — no assigned space, and the building's got zero interest in doing anything about chargers for now. There's an untethered pole charger about half a block from my building that I've started using two or three nights a week, parking wherever I can find a spot on the street.
Right now I'm borrowing a 5m Type 2 cable off a friend to test it out before I buy my own, and it juuust reaches if I park in the closest bay. Everyone online says get 7m "to be safe" but the price difference is real — like $150+ more for the extra length, and it's heavier to carry around and store.
Is 5m actually workable if I'm not guaranteed the closest park, or am I setting myself up to be the person who can't reach the charger and has to reshuffle? What's everyone else actually running day to day?
