A typical US household outlet can only be used for 1500 watts continuously, and that's sometimes complicated by the fact there may be other devices on that same circuit that are also drawing electricity.
1.5kw isn't a very fast charging speed for electric vehicle batteries, especially for vehicles driven every day or close to that.
A household EV charger is just a special connecter wired up to a power source rated for a higher current at 230v.

It’s super easy to do yourself with some basic electrical knowledge. Trickle charge is the only way to charge an EV without permanent damage due to the nature of high capacity batteries and the conversions that take place.
