Charging times:
Of course it will vary based on the use you have, the distance you drive, etc, HOWEVER, unless you're a delivery driver, charging shouldn't be an issue at all using a regular dryer outlet.
Somebody that drives let's say, 80 miles per day, charging would take something around 3 to 4 hours at home. Fast charging stations are popping up everywhere. It will reach a point that nearly all parking spots will have chargers.
I've researched that very deeply before deciding to go electric and I was surprised with the absurd number of chargers here in Los Angeles. There are even regular street parking spots, with a parking meter and a level 2 charger. Nearly all supermarkets, drugstores, shopping malls, restaurants, etc have parking spots with level 3 charging.
Of course, the networks grow according to the demand. It makes no sense to put a zillion chargers in a small town that has only 2 or 3 electric cars, but once the fleet of electric cars in a certain area grows, the demand will automatically ask for more offer.
Here in Los Angeles, The number of EVs is much higher than in other cities, so this demand created more offers, because companies want to sell electricity the same way gas stations want to sell gas.
One thing is surely a fact. EVs came to stay and theres no way to go back. Different from hydrogen, for example, that arrived as a super revolutionary technology and turned into a nightmare for those who bought Mirai and Clarity and have to deal with only a handful of stations, absurdly expensive fuel, some stations with no fuel, some with defective pumps, giant lines and, depending on the weather, the nozzle can freeze and you're stuck for 30 minutes waiting for it to defrost so you can disconnect it from the car. An electrical plug... well, everybody knows how to use one, don't you?
