The problem in the US is that outlets run at 120v and an overnight charge is closer to 30-40 miles of range assuming 12amp on a 15amp circuit.
In countries with most outlets at 220v it’s probably easier, plus usually less long distance driving than the US.
Obviously if you put a 240v, 50amp outlet in a garage you can ignore everything I just wrote.
