minus-squareNotMyOldRedditName@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·edit-24 months agoI looked it up once and the average Canadian/USA commute (at least in non winter weather) can be done on a 120v 5-15 outlet. Harsher winters would probably need the 5-20 outlets (or indoor parking) to maintain that level though. Edit: and ya having charging at work would make the winters better as it adds an extra 8 hours of charging you’d lose otherwise.
