I would not own an EV if there was no home charging. Go with the Scoobie.
I wouldnt either, but my tolerance for inconvenient stuff that I can make "convenient" is pretty low. a 120v charging solution will not work for a 240 mile commute, and the other kicker is the OP stated "the house we
RENT will cost XXX to get outfitted for charging"
Key word there is "RENT" not only is any investment the OP might make into charging of no long term benefit to themselves, but (and this is the big one) the owner of the property has final say on what they will allow to be done. Perhaps the owner of the property only wants to pay "their specific trusted electrician" for example, who states "you need a panel upgrade, period".
OP doesnt get to look at other options, other than perhaps researching it and suggesting. Of course, since its "rent" OP can always look to move elsewhere when their lease is up.
OP, if you thought you were going to "savings" your way to making this decision for the car, as in, you didnt need a new car but "the savings is too good to pass up", then you likely need to re consider. If your landlord is flexible and reasonable, perhaps you can look into what actually you can get for home charging. Too many people ask an electrician "What is it going to take for me to install a tesla wall charger that supports 60amp charging here?"
Any good electrician is going to quote you exactly that. "What its going to take for you to install a wall charger that charges at 60amps".
The ACTUAL question should be. What is the largest 240V circuit I can put in this panel for EV charging, that does not require any large expenses like panel upgrades or large infrastructure purchases?" Perhaps you find out that you can get a 30 or 40amp circuit, or something could be re purposed, etc.
Thats what you would do as the homeowner, anyway. The landlord, if not reasonable, can absolutely require something else. I would not go through with the purchase of the car if I could not charge at home, or, in your case, if I was not willing to move to enable home charging in a reasonable amount of time (4-6 months that would be for me.)
