The adapter that plugs into a regular outlet will get you 4 miles per hour charged. So, if you plugged in it overnight, you would get maybe 50 miles. Another adapter on Amazon that costs $30-40 doubles that charging power. So, unless you plan on driving 100 miles/day, I don't think it's necessary to add anything to electrical panel.

For wife and I it would be our second car (not second EV) so ease of operation, maintenance, overall expense to own/operate matter more than driving cross country.
