You explained how it's doable when you drive 60 miles

Read it again. I said 60 miles the day after driving it to 0%. People don't "usually" need this.

Average EV has 293 miles of range currently; even if you arrived home with 20% battery remaining and you only wanted to recharge to 80%,

Thats 176 miles of range. People don't "usually" need that.

At least once every few months we take a day trip to the nearest "big" city, which is 105 miles away.

You said all of this already and I already replied to it.

I'm certainly not saying that a L2 charger is a must for...most people. But I would not agree that L1 is enough for most people.

🤔 Wat. Do you think there's like a L1.5 or something?

Let’s agree to simply not tell people what they do and do not need.

I'm not telling anyone what they need. I'm telling you what people usually need. Which is the topic of the conversation you started.

There's the option of a level 1 charger at home, supplemented with an occasional stop at a fast charger.

The L1 charger is not quite enough to keep up with their usage, but their usage isn't enough to make an L2 absolutely necessary.
