Not too tall so that should work well. Thanks for answering my questions!

Ok good to know, need to look into the charger issue and that is cool about the pre-condition. Last question, do you have carseats? Wondering how multiple fit in the back. Suppose it's no different than any smaller car.

Ooohh okay I see now, I was wondering why people were saying they charge it every night. Not because they need to just because it's convenient to top off at the end of the day.

Wow, amazing! I'm going to keep an eye out for that one and some of the other plug-in hybrids

Good point, I'm actually mostly looking at used cars. Is it fairly easy to find a compatible public charger (I still don't fully understand how it all works) for longer drives? I.e. up and down 95 give or take 2-3 hours?

Gotcha, I'm looking at some lower priced EVs but sounds like Tesla is opening up some (?) of their network to other cars so maybe it'd work!

I searched the history of this group before I made this post and someone posted this exact question about Chuch Hill, just so you know!

THanks, good to know. Can I ask how much the L2 charger costs to install?

True! There is the odd morning every once in awhile that I realize "oh shit, I'm almost on empty" and then have to rush to get gas before work, which would not work with an EV in a time crunch I guess. But generally I'm a fairly organized person

That sounds awesome! I wish they still made those, I love Hondas

Thanks! That's helpful to know. How often do you charge at home?

Ok thanks that's very helpful to know, yeah it seems like maybe Teslas have to most options for charging while on longer distance drives?

Thank you for replying, that is exactly the car I'm looking at, even specifically 2018 or newer used Nissan Leafs. Glad to hear it works well for around town, but don't fully understand which type of chargers work for which type of EV and how accessible they are, so that's helpful to know.

Wow that would be nice, but the guy that owns my office building is definitely not going to be doing that anytime soon 😂 Can I ask which type of EV you have?

Yeah I go to DC for the weekend maybe...4 or 5 times/year and down to NC a couple times over the summer. I suppose it soudns like that part is trickier than the driving around RVA part. Can I ask which EV you have?

Just thinking of scenarios where I'm running around town and realize I'll need to charge while out and about
