Yeah but the difference is I can make it happen.
Where the majority of people struggle to even have a garage or install a 240 circuit.
From what I can tell it appears from the leaf Facebook groups and my nissan leaf dot com it looks like around half of EV owners charge with 120v only at home using the evse that came with the car.
I have a garage and a 19 or 20kw circuit on tap.
Chadmo already has an all in one charger stand alone inverter made by nissan and sectec you can buy today. Also sectec has a grid tie chadmo with solar. The sectec grid tie unit needs is an Internet connection and it can be controlled by the power company and back feed vehicle battery power to the grid.
Not even tesla or any of the CSS cars can do this.
CSS changes their charging protocol every 6 months or so, they might be the first of the 2. Tesla thinks their stuff is the best and doesn't need to be changed so they will be last.
Teslas answer to the grid tie thing is "buy our (over priced and ridiculous) power wall".
