We just purchased a new home here in Harford County, Maryland. We were told by the salesperson that electric chargers for electric vehicle is now standard in new homes!

interesting,

did not know there was a standard for the chargers, as in each car make seems to have a different plug and charger stations,

friend has a tesla, and uses a drop cord at his house, he is near baltimore and has plenty of charging options where he frequets, (but does have to wait to charge if he is not doing something near by, )

his mother installed a tesla station for him at her house, which down in the southern part of the state, and not as many options,

I think he said it was about $7K for the station and installation

Remember 20 yrs ago or so dual fuel cars and trucks were a flash in the pan? They would run on gas or butane/propNe/ natural gas. People with natural gas service at home could refill over night. Local utilities here in Phoenix would install refill stations at homes. Big sell...drive till u run out of gas, throw the lever and get another 3-400 miles. I knew people at Honeywell that did that. Asked them and they said the used gas rather than LP. Quit hearing about it after several months.
