> Do American power points not charge an EV? It’s come up repeatedly on this thread that you need a home charger.

Standard outlets (like what you plug your phone/computer charger into) in the US are 120V and 5-20A.

US homes sometimes also have outlets that are 240V/20-40A traditionally used for electric clothes dryers, and those are what home Level 2 EVSEs (not technically chargers) are usually plugged into, or sometimes a dedicated 240V/40A RV plug is installed for EV charging.

That said, if you don't need to charge fast, or don't drive more than 30 miles a day, a 120V outlet can more than suffice for daily charging needs.
