I'm asking because as it happens, I have no way to upgrade my garage trickle-charging, which is detailed in this thread;

Charging Concerns; Challenging Townhome Situation

I'm incredibly bummed about my rinky-dink electrical setup here, but I will pursue my remaining options— either a DCC-10 switcher (with HOA cooperation) and/or additional power to my garage from the main electrical cabinet feeding the building. Since I have no other options and don't want to move yet, I will lean hard on this.

I'm curious about how others are handling their situation where they cannot get more than trickle-charging in a garage, carport, or parking space. Perhaps some are using street parking with no feasible way to trickle-charge at all.

Do some of you rely solely on Supercharging, and how has your battery holding up? Do you have a routine for Supercharging and how often do you drive and charge?

I've heard mixed opinions on this, but others have reported doing this with no ill effects relating to battery efficiency over the years.

I'd love to read your answers. I've added a poll with two choices allowed in case some of you also have employer-provided charging in addition to Supercharging or trickle + supercharging.

Thanks!
