At home? Easy, peasy. Plug it in to my Level 2 and you get over 30 miles per hour of charging. With no real math behind it, our electric bill has gone up about $20 this month.

If they give me a decent deal/lease after retirement to pick this up, I may just do it.

For just around town, this is a really fun car to drive. Instant torque makes quick pulls to the speed limit. Low CG with that battery helps the car corner quite well. It won't satisfy and SS owner, but I'd give this a run against a 2.0T. Like I said, it's only 295 HP so it's not intended to be a super fast EV. But very usable and very fun.
I saw this video. On old car, old ford farm truck type of guy test drives a Y and surprises himself in how much he enjoys it, and says if it would fit into his current budget he would buy one for a daily driver after only about 5 minutes into the test drive. He gets lots of hate in the comments section by anti I love to hate type people. I posted a link to get a free test drive and it drew the hate like flies on poo
