One of the things I seriously consider adding a dedicated charger in the garage for (and not just the 120v outlet) is for plugging it in to precondition the car and battery before leaving. Cold outside, pre-heat the car. Hot outside, crank the AC.
Super easy and cheap depending on how far away your outlet is from the breaker. I spent about $75 to install a 50 A dedicated circuit.
