The average person drives 30 miles a day:

The time to recharge that 30 miles on a V3 Supercharger is around 3 minutes. Faster than most people spend in line at Starbucks every morning.

If someone doesn’t want to install a 240v outlet then the 120v will add 3-5 miles of range per hour, which is 8-10 hours of charging for 30 miles. A 240v socket like that of a dryer or stove from an older home will add 22 miles of range per hour, so it would take 1.5 hours to add 30 miles. Again, for the vast majority of people, this meets their daily needs.

I can add nothing intelligent to this conversation since I am clueless on EVs but it would seem that this would indeed work fine for the vast majority of the population. That would work for my wife except that we use her car for all our road trips and I would think charging would be a nightmare for planning since most of our trips consist of "that road looks cool wonder where it goes?"
