My son got a new Ford Lightning.

He already told them he's not home charging it. BTW about 15 years ago I had two 220V outlets installed at the house. One on the back deck for the hot tub and one in the garage for welding. When I sell the home It should look good to those with an EV for fast charging.

When dad and I built my shop, I installed a 100 amp service with two single 220 50 amp outlets....one at the front and one at the rear of the shop close to the overhead doors then a double outlet in the middle where the compressor is. The compressor is a 220 unit and the reason for having a double outlet is not having to unplug the compressor to plug in a welding machine. Turns out that I've rarely used the central drop for a welding machine.

I had heard that the home chargers require a 60 amp feed.

Damn right! You only do that if you get an allowance and an outlet installed at your home by the Company - and make sure it's at least 30 feet from any buildings....or at least far enough to drag it away from a building if a fire starts.

How much do the home charging stations make the light bill go up?

Significant enough to deter you from doing it just to "please the boss"

If he's not home charging he's not gonna get much work done. GM employees who are driving EVs, which is most get a home charger installed at company expense and monthly stipend to offset higher elec cost. I would think other employers who choose EVs for their drivers would do the same. Too much lost time if not home charging.

on a side note , a while back, a lightning got on the 4 lane and showed his *** , dam thing started down shifting the 10 speed trans , you wouldnt believe how long it took to get in the lowest gear available , could have nailed his *** with about anything for a gear or two..
I NEVER RUN IN TO THESE PPUNKS WHEN I`M DRIVING MY BARRACUDA , or when the traffiic is lite enough to show them up...
