It's too common a problem to hand-wave away as "nitpicking".Norm, you're nitpicking. It is obvious that there are going to be those who will need to find alternative ways to charge their electric vehicles. These issues will need to be addressed, of course.
Not having a garage to put your car in (for any reason, not just to keep the electric things out of the weather) is really easy to picture.
No garage at all - many houses and most apartment . . . and nearly all city dwelling (a huge difficulty in exactly the place where an EV would otherwise make the most sense).
Or a garage that's not realistically big enough for current vehicles to use as such, and ends up being a workshop or additional living space).
It's easy to see these "obstacles" when you've lived them. Maybe not so easy if garage space has never been much of a problem.
I'm less concerned about the installation than I am about long term use (think wear and tear). I've done some of my own house wiring over the years, up to and including 220 lines to the range and for the welding equipment. All stuff that you never get close to again like you would the charger to car cable.Honestly, with the continuing advancements in batteries and charging systems I do not think 110/220/440 is really an issue. But if you really wanted a 440v line having if safely and correctly installed it would be no more of a hazard than a 110/220v line.
