EV6 Charging and Range -> Yes, I can live with an L1 charger at home.

Day to day, running around and keeping the EV6 charged up to around 80% hasn't been an issue.  I bought a level 1 portable changer with the intention of letting the car soak up juice over night. So far, that's been a pretty successful adventure.

The 110v 12 amp charger can put ~3.7 miles per charge hour into the car. Day to day, I put an average of 21 miles under the wheels. I can easily recover that charge over night while sleeping, topping up to up to ~80% charge. (~235 mile range). I usually won't bother putting the car on the charger over night if I'm over 70% charge at the end of the day. 

But what does that actually look like? Well...Like this.
