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.
