Only if the home has enough supply. If it doesn't, it will require a new supply box, which will also likely require a new supply from the pole.So yeah, standard 240 outlets. Should someone with no idea how to install one have an electrician do it? Sure, but it's a pretty basic install.
Standard power coming into the house is 2 wire 240 volts. They grab neutral from a waterpipe ground to get two 115 volt legs A and B.
240 just involves using both A and B 115v legs.
A Tesla charger will plug into a standard 240 outlet just like your dryer. Now that charger isn't going to charge your car 80% in 20 minutes like a fast charger but it most certainly will overnight in your garage.
tell me you arent comparing pickles with electric cars and road taxs??All the whiney complaints because people are making choices you wouldn't make. Do you go off on the guy who orders his burger without pickles if you like pickles also?
Wait, garages aren't racist?
What about all the people who don't have a garage, how will they charge EV overnight?
I had a guy not familiar with Three phase 4 wire delta in industry wired up 110v outlets to the 240v , he blew up two computers , lolStandard power coming into the house is 2 wire 240 volts. They grab neutral from a waterpipe ground to get two 115 volt legs A and B.

Yeah... no.The argument was a simple one. Your electric car can plug into an outlet just the same as your electric dryer.
Yeah... no.
Pretty sure most people don't have one in a garage. If they even have a garage.
Not sure why you are intent on simplifying this.
For those who have money, yeah... no issues at all. Easy.
Many people don't. I would wager 80% of all EV charger installs require additional power supply installation.
What's worse is that the grid changes to accommodate EVs usually involves installing circuits that are inadequate for any expansion or demand. The upgrades will end up getting ripped out and replaced in short order, so that more of the same can be installed.Furthermore, low- and middle-income Americans are facing significant electric rate increases for grid upgrades to accommodate EVs.
The receptacle alone is $50 bucks not to mention the wire cost, who has 240 volts in their garage except for guys like me who used to have a Arc welder.Which isn't even being argued. I can install one in my garage for less than $100. The argument is that it doesn't have to be some expensive undertaking.
If you live in a 100 year old home that has never been updated can it be? Sure but the argument is that charging an electric car isn't any different necessarily than running your dryer.
No power grid has 300 million customersNot when you have 300 million EVs charging at night, like I said

You're supposed to get neutral from ground, not by tapping between legs. That way any phase to neutral is 120 VI had a guy not familiar with Three phase 4 wire delta in industry wired up 110v outlets to the 240v , he blew up two computers , lol

Right now, gearheads love the vroom, vroomAn electric vehicle isn't for everybody. But even the gearheads will love EV's. I i'm still looking it up, but they may be the fastest street legal car for street racing (1/8th mile)
The Lamborghini Hurricane will take it in the 1/4 mile, but the 1/8th, the Tesla probably has them beat.
As I said before. The grid won't have to change, as long as the load of charging EV's is mostly at night. If you've ever seen the graph of power usage throughout the day, and there's plenty of power available at night.What's worse is that the grid changes to accommodate EVs usually involves installing circuits that are inadequate for any expansion or demand. The upgrades will end up getting ripped out and replaced in short order, so that more of the same can be installed.

100 year old home... that is absurd.
Reminds me of the late 70s when Japan started producing high end motorcycles. Traditionalists said Americans will never give up their Harleys
But they fell in love with the Crotch Rockets
It's a good thing you are not teaching a class. Your students would know very little and have an unrealistic view of reality.We aren't teaching class here. I used an example. I do not have to write a book.
