""I can't drive an electric vehicle. I don't want to sit there for hours waiting for it to charge." That's a frequent complaint we hear about EV ownership. And to tell you the truth, I also don't want to sit in a car for hours, waiting for it to charge. Luckily, that's a gross misconception of how modern EV charging worksas long as you know your different types of chargers and speeds, and what your car needs at any given time."
"But if you have the right tools at your disposal, and you're willing to plan ahead a bit more, charging an EV is actually a better experience overall than paying for gas. Tom Moloughney, a world-renowned EV charging expert, host of the State of Charge YouTube channel and a contributing editor here at InsideEVs, explores this topic in a beginner-friendly way with his newest video. While there are lots of guides to EV charging out there, including on our website, this video is another great breakdown from someone who knows what he's talking about."
""Now, the quick down and dirty answer might be, if you can charge at home, it'll be fully charged by the morning as long as you can charge from a 240-volt Level 2 charging source, which most people can install in their homes.""
Many people assume EV charging means hours of waiting, but modern charging is often quick and convenient when chargers and car needs match. Understanding charger types, speeds, and kilowatt-hour concepts reduces confusion and improves planning for daily use. Home 240-volt Level 2 charging typically replenishes a vehicle overnight, eliminating frequent public stops for routine charging. Public fast chargers provide rapid top-ups on long trips, especially when plugged in at a low state of charge. With basic tools, modest planning, and the right charger choice, charging an EV can be more convenient and cost-effective than fueling with gasoline.
