I got a quote to put a 50 amp outlet for a level 2 charger in my garage for $600. This isn’t free, but at your commute it will pay for itself quickly since then you can charge overnight. I run real numbers, but I tell people my electric car is like paying $0.30/gallon of gas, which is close enough for my area. I can’t tell how much my electric bill has gone up since getting the EVs (last year without any I spent more in February than this year with two - that is my heat pump was working harder last year, and in turn costs more than whatever I’m spending to charge the cars)
Do make sure you get something with plenty of range - in some cars winter range really is half summer so consider getting the extended range battery. Or just remember to find a charger when you are at those distant charges - odds are they are there just hidden.
If you live in a colder area, it’s well worth selecting an EV with heat pump, so less reduction in winter range. Many do, but sometimes it’s an optional feature
