Electric drier plugs aren’t always conveniently located (and some won’t have any—apartments and certain types of assisted-living sorts of situations might not).

Electric drier plugs aren’t always conveniently located (and some won’t have any—apartments and certain types of assisted-living sorts of situations might not).
Normal outlets take forever to charge. Days from, say, 20% charge to get to full. Better not be using it for any other driving while you visit.
May have to kick one of their cars out of a garage, in either case, to reach any outlet. Some people really hate having their car outside.
- Rebelgecko 3y agoDunno how long your trips are, but if you're staying 2-3 days an L1 charger should do the job even if you drive around town a bit while you're there. I also keep an extension cord in my car, which works well for running under garage doors.
- RHSeeger 3y agoGenerally, we're driving out, hanging out for a couple hours to have a meal, and driving back. There's no garage to plug the car in; the car area is about 100 feet from the house. Overall, it's just not realistic to plug a car in while visiting them.
