Experience with charging on 120V outlet in winter

You could do it. Like others have said, you'll get stressed with potential range anxiety. When you have a big charge and it's telling you 24 hours to fill, you'll be stressed.

Don't let this hold you back though; you've got lots of charging around you. That's why they put Netflix in the car!

And as reported in another thread, I recently put in a Tesla Wall Charger at 240V, and I get 56km/hr. A whole new world!
 
Well seeing as though my daily commute is only 32 kms. I'm not stressed about 110V.
I think that it should give me enough juice to replace what I use and loose on a normal day within the 10-13 hours that the car could normally be plugged in.

If it’s a shared plug, I hope the breaker is easy to access, because if you’re using it anyone else will blow the breaker if they plug anything in.
 
It will be a shared plug unless I can convince the condo association other wise.
I do live down a street (± 1/2 km) from a level 2 charger and work within 5km's of a supercharger.
Also where I live about 1 km away I also have a Fast Charger but would need either a CCS or CHADEMO adapter.

I guess time will tell what I need once I get the car late next spring/early summer.

In that case, I'd try to get them to install a pay for use charger, say 30% over kwh cost to make up for the infrastructure. It would add to resale value for all units.

Who pays for the power of the 120v outlet in the garage?
