Hyundai throws in two years of free charging at Electrify America stations and that includes DCFC. I'm usually there for less than 10 minutes.I’m not sure what metrics you are using when you made that statement, and your situation may be different, but here are the cost differences for home charging vs. fast DC charging for me (Seattle area)You really don't need a home charger if your EV supports DC fast charging like the Hyundai Ioniq line. I went months without bothering to get one and only did it because my utility paid for the home charger.
Charge at home: $0.16/kWh. Can charge overnight while I’m asleep.
Fast DC charger: $0.48/kWh. Requires finding an available public charger when I need it or rearranging my schedule to find one. Undisputably much less convenient as charging while I am asleep.
But maybe I’m missing something - is there something else you value that makes fast charging in public a superior option ?
