It makes sense that Electrify
It makes sense that Electrify America would offer home chargers. They will probably offer bundle/install packages with future VW/Audi/Porsche EVs. I do suspect that they have a secondary motivation that they may count all of the home EVSE stations as Electrify America EV charging stations, even though home installations are not really accessible to the general public. Six years ago I had a Blink 240V EVSE installed at my home (hard wired). The Volt which I had at the time had an on-board charger that limited the 240V charging speed compared to newer models (including the 2019 Volt and Bolt) which offered (2X) 7.2kW/240V charging. My Volt and ELR take about 10hrs to charge 45 miles at 110V, and getting the 240V charger I was able to cut that time to about 3.5 hrs, or about 12 EV miles of charge per hour. My neighbor's home Tesla charger can do an amazing 52 miles an hour, but then again he has a much bigger battery to fill up. From a day to day point of view the included 110V charger would have worked fine most of the time, as it is usually more than 10 hours from the time that I get home to the time that I leave for work the next day. But there is another advantage of adding a faster 240V charger is that my power company has lower electricity rates from 11PM to 7AM, so being able to fully charge during those times cuts power costs. I thought that it was funny that Electrify America featured a Hyundai in their promo pics because it was an insult that they end up charging 2X for Hyundai fast charging because of their charging/billing rates, and I don't think that they fixed it yet. To connect those dots, VW started Electrify America to atone for their dieselgate scam and move towards EVs. So the fact that one of VWs biggest EV rivals is Hyundai clearly had an effect in their biased fast charge pricing model. But back to this charger...My Blink charger cost $500, Six years ago, plus $200 to hardwire the charger into my panel by an electrician. You can fine 240V EVSEs today for $150, but the Electrify America model clearly has some extra bells and whistles for online use and tracking. If your home has an accessible 220V plug (electric dryer anyone?) then most EVSEs like this one can just plug in to that special high power socket, but otherwise you will need to budget in an electrician. Since most BEV and PHEV owners charge at home I figure that they will start offering higher speed home chargers (Tesla's regular Model S charger manages 32MPH). Currently PHEVs are capped out at 7.2kW, but if the automakers are serious about expanding to support EVs then new PHEVs may add fast charging so potentially you could add 50 miles of range in 2-3 minutes, which would make it quicker than a gas fill up. I need to give Electrify America credit for being serious about providing home chargers and fast chargers across the country. It will definitely help out upcoming VW BEVs in the future, and help the larger EV movement by making public fast chargers available all over. I just hope that they keep public charging prices reasonably low, so that EVs keep their relatively low operating cost advantages compared to gasoline cars and trucks. For instance, my Cadillac costs about 5 cents a mile to run as an EV when charged at home, whereas my previous Honda CR-V cost about 18 cents a mile to run on gasoline.
