(15,803 posts)16. Level one chargers are fast
Weve only used them during trips that take us beyond the range of the car, which so far is rare for us.
There is a $7500 federal incentive (you have to have at least $7500 in federal tax liability for the year you buy one) and many states have incentives too. Our state offers $2500 plus more if you have a certain level of income.
My level 2 charger was free with my car. I couldve gotten much of the cost of installation defrayed too.
Id love to see rest areas install level one chargers. Pull in, use the facility, stretch your legs and get a charge all at once.

200 miles is not the max charge for the Lucid Air, it has up to a 520 mile range

You could take the batteries from one all-electric car and make 10 plug-in hybrids.
