It's no panacea, but the price was right on a used 2012, and given all my trips are local I don't "really" need more than the 120v charger. Even at oddly low gas prices I will probably save %50 on vehicle energy costs, the ICE rarely gets a chance to warm up.

Though I do intend to tap into a 240v circuit soon, just because I have 240 to the house, and charging efficiency bumps up to about %90 from %78.

protip, shift to reverse to get to neutral faster if going above 7mph.
