Depending on the efficiency of the car, you can probably charge 50 miles in about 10 hours on a 120v, 12amp charger. Most cars spend about that long parked overnight, every night of the week. That’s not trickle charging, btw, that’s 1.4kW of power. And if you have an electric clothes dryer then you probably have a 30amp circuit to plug into if you wanted. That’s easily 4× as much power.
But it’s unlikely to be a good idea to replace your car while you still have a mortgage on an existing one. That’s just common sense.
