I am also a Nissan Leaf driver. Charging at home is possibly the best reason to have one. Unlike a gas car, I can leave home for every trip with a full "tank".

Fully juiced. haha. Well, I think many people are jealous of you, me included. I actually live in a single family house, but my electric panel is all the way in the backyard. I don't have a sub-panel in the garage. The quotes I got are all around $2000 total to install home charging for me. I wanted to install one and share with people, but so far haven't been able to pull the trigger.

Do you currently just use level 1 charging, or not at all?

Most EVs charge at about 3mph from L1, and if you're on-plug for 10 hours overnight, hey, that's longer than a lot of people commute in a day. Might be able to keep your SoC pretty high with that alone.

Of course L1 is too slow to be useful for sharing, but for a resident it often works out quite well.

Yes, that is my fall back option. I still keep the charging cable that came with the Leaf in the trunk, just in case!

So far, I haven't needed to go to the fall back option. I charge at a l2 host place near my work, and once a week I go to a fast charger near some restaurant.

That's definitely a big part of the problem. Many people actually don't have dedicated private charging even today. To get more adoptions to EVs, we definitely need to make sure folks that lack home or workplace charging can predictably charge their cars.
