- jhwork 7y agoDo people only charge their car twice a week? We have charging stations at work and they are packed each day and each car has a scheduled time.
- jvanderbot 7y ago1500 / 5 per week is still 6 years. The tesla home pack is made from refurbed car packs, so perhaps they'll have a generous buyback in place.
- davidgould 7y agoPeople only charge enough for the amount they drive. If the car has 250 miles of range and the commute is 25 miles then charging once a week is reasonable.
