Yes, they are several orders of magnitude worse than gas stations. For an 110V AC outlet to fully charge any vehicle will take days. Anything less than a fast charging station will not meaningfully charge a vehicle when you are outside.
A L2 charger will not even make a dent in your range when you are out running errands (20-25 miles of range per hour of charging). They are generally only useful when they are at your workplace and can charge for hours at a time.
- myself248 6y agoTypical L1 charging adds 3 or 4 miles of range per hour on-plug. So if you're plugged in for 12 hours overnight, that's 40-ish miles, which is more than most people drive in a day. Or 8 hours at work, you get 30-ish miles, still significant. If the parking lot at work has solar-shaded carparks that feed the chargers, the building might not even need a service upgrade. I don't know why this isn't more common.
