Also have to consider does it matter if it takes that long to charge from 10% to 90%? If it's for city driving what's the average kms per day? 40? In that case you'll only care about 80% to 90% times.. and for the times when you do significant drain in a day stop at a fast charger. But if it's 200km a day then yeah it wouldn't work well.

Just have to weigh the benefits and downsides. Is the added complexity of a hybrid better or worse than the cost (if possible) of running 220V? Some people won't have the option so maybe the hybrid is still better.

My problem is we suited our walkout basement and my parents moved in. So between my stove and dryer and THEIR stove and dryer I think everything is maxed so I'd probably need to spend a decent amount to add a 220 line to the garage.
