According to the Office of Energy Efficiency & Renewable Energy, over 80% of EV charging is done at home. For a single-family home, "the cost to run your car over the course of a year can be less than running an air conditioner." Also, some utility companies offer reduced rates during off-peak hours.
Level 2 EVSE is powered by a 240-volt circuit. The range increases to approximately 10 to 60 miles. Level 2 requires special charging equipment professionally installed.
If you have an older home where the electrical service has not been updated for years, you may need to upgrade to 200 amps and replace the panel.
